“Iran’s president said his country will continue talks with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not withdraw from its rights because of U.S. threats. ‘We are negotiating, and we will negotiate. We are not after war but we do not fear any threat,’ President Masoud Pezeshkian said during a speech to navy officials broadcast by state television Saturday. ‘It is not like if they threaten us we will give up our human right and definite rights,’ Pezeshkian said. … a major sticking point remains Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which Tehran insists it must be allowed to do and the Trump administration increasingly insists the Islamic Republic must give up. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s program if a deal isn’t reached.” (05/17/25)
