GEOPOLITICS | Iran's Foreign Minister Emphasizes Diplomacy for Nuclear Program Resolution

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated on February 20 that the country's peaceful nuclear program cannot be resolved through military means, emphasizing that diplomacy is the only viable solution. According to Jin10, Araghchi highlighted past attempts to disrupt Iran's nuclear efforts, including large-scale attacks on facilities and assassinations of scientists, which have failed to dismantle the program. He noted that the technology was developed indigenously, making it impervious to destruction through bombing or military action. Consequently, the United States has returned to the negotiating table to seek an agreement. Araghchi affirmed Iran's desire for peace and its willingness to resolve issues through negotiation and diplomacy, while also being prepared to defend its security.
