EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). Starting with a reference to a long-existing “Fatwah” (religious decree), Mr. Pezeshian emphasizes that Iran never had as an objective to acquire or use nuclear weapons, and never in the last 200 years attacked any of its neighbors… Tucker mentions at some point that Israel supplied weapons to Iran over 20 years ago in the war against Iraq, which the Iranian President does not comment on.
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE INTERVIEW:
War Initiation: Pezeshkian states Iran did not start the war with the U.S. and has focused on national unity and peace with neighbors.
Nuclear Program Denial: He rejects claims that Iran seeks nuclear weapons, emphasizing religious decrees and cooperation with the IAEA.
IAEA Cooperation: Pezeshkian explains Iran suspended IAEA cooperation due to Israeli attacks on its nuclear facilities but is open to talks once repairs are made.
Israeli Role: He blames Israel, particularly Netanyahu, for sabotaging peace efforts with its attacks and undermining diplomacy.
US Diplomacy: Iran is willing to negotiate, but Pezeshkian criticizes U.S. involvement in conflicts due to Israeli influence.
War Crimes: He condemns the assassination of Iranian scientists and military figures by Israel, calling them war crimes and questioning trust in the U.S. if Israel is not held accountable.
Nuclear Fears: Pezeshkian dismisses fears about Iran’s nuclear intentions as based on a false image created by Israel.
Israeli Actions: He criticizes Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and its role in worsening relations with Iran.
Economic Cooperation: Pezeshkian affirms that U.S. businesses are welcome in Iran but are blocked by sanctions.
Broader War: Iran can defend itself but would welcome cooperation with allies like Russia and China if necessary.
In conclusion, Pezeshkian reiterates Iran’s commitment to peace but emphasizes their right to self-defense against foreign aggression, particularly from Israel.
