In a controversial statement, Behzad Pezeshkian, a member of parliament, emphasized that Iran is not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and if it had such a goal, it would never have joined the "NPT" treaty. He stressed Iran's relations with neighboring countries, stating: "We have no problem with the UAE and we have no issues with any of the regional countries."
Where is Iran's Main Problem?
Pezeshkian clarified that Iran's real problem is the U.S. military bases in neighboring countries. He continued: "Our problem is with the bases that the U.S. has in these countries, which use those bases to attack our country." These statements clearly reflect Iran's concerns about the U.S. military presence in areas close to its borders.
This member of parliament pointed out the necessity of strengthening diplomacy and regional cooperation, noting that Iran should focus on its relations with neighbors and seek interaction instead of tension. He emphasized that under the current circumstances, diplomacy and rational dialogue can help reduce tensions and improve conditions.
Prospects for Iran's Relations with Neighbors
Pezeshkian finally pointed out that having positive relations with neighboring countries can contribute to regional security and stability, and Iran should strive to strengthen these relations through diplomacy. It seems that these statements are part of the Islamic Republic's efforts to improve relations with neighbors and reduce tensions in the region.
