In Tbilisi, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian denied that Iran sought nuclear weapons during talks with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. Pezeshkian expressed readiness for dialogue and condemned U.S. sanctions during the meeting, which took place at the UN biodiversity summit in Yerevan, Armenia. He also called for closer ties with Georgia, following the suspension of aviation links between the two countries due to U.S. sanctions on Iranian airlines.
Pezeshkian stated that Iran had never sought nuclear weapons and that the allegations against Iran were false propaganda. He emphasized that Iran was ready for dialogue and would not submit to coercion. Additionally, Pezeshkian called for a clear timeline to expand cooperation between Iran and Georgia. Kobakhidze, quoted by Iran's Tasnim news agency, opposed foreign interference in the matter.
