❗️Iran says it seeks ‘rights, not concessions’ from the US
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Tehran is not seeking any “concessions” from the United States, stressing that Iran is only demanding the restoration of its rights after decades of “crippling sanctions” imposed under various pretexts, particularly allegations surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
Baghaei said there has never been any nuclear threat from Iran against regional or international actors, adding that Tehran’s core demands include lifting US sanctions, ending Washington’s “criminal measures” against the Iranian people, and releasing Iran’s frozen assets.
He also condemned the illegal “naval blockade” in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the US must take steps to end it, as the measures violate international law.
