Iran’s president said Sept. 24 that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons and is willing to advance nuclear discussions with the United States, a position that could keep the country’s nuclear policy in focus for geopolitical and energy markets.

Iran is prepared to reduce its uranium-enrichment levels and accept inspections within the framework of international law, the president said. The remarks outline conditions for continued engagement while rejecting the pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

The president also said Iran had not chosen war and was not seeking one, but described the conflict as having been imposed on the country.

Regarding a previously signed Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding, the president said the agreement remains a basis for further progress. No new meeting date or additional terms were provided.

Iran’s nuclear policy remains closely tied to geopolitical risk and energy-market sensitivity, making any movement toward talks significant for U.S. readers tracking global markets.
