Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has strongly criticised former US President Donald Trump, stating he has “no justification” to deprive Iran of its nuclear rights. Pezeshkian questioned Trump’s authority, asking why a nation should be denied its legal entitlements without reason. He reaffirmed that Iran considers its nuclear programme a sovereign right and insisted the country is not seeking to escalate conflict, claiming its actions are defensive. The remarks come amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and stalled negotiations over nuclear issues, with both sides still far from reaching a comprehensive agreement.
