Iran's President Says Rebuilding Nuclear Sites Futile Without Talks With Washington
Briefly

Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian warned of potential conflict with the United States unless diplomatic efforts regarding Tehran's nuclear program are taken. He criticized those opposed to negotiations, emphasizing that rebuilding nuclear facilities would lead to further attacks by the US. Critics, including the Tasnim News Agency and Kayhan's editor Hossein Shariatmadari, challenged Pezeshkian's stance, suggesting it reflects weakness. Shariatmadari argued that some Iranian officials mistakenly view negotiations as the only alternative to war.
Iran faces a risk of conflict with the United States unless diplomacy is pursued, according to President Masud Pezeshkian, who criticized opponents of talks over Tehran's nuclear program.
Pezeshkian stated that if nuclear facilities are rebuilt, the United States would strike them again, reiterating the need for negotiations to avoid further violence.
Critics from the Tasnim News Agency claimed Pezeshkian's comments project an impression of Iranian weakness, countering that his stance on negotiations could be viewed as desperate.
Hossein Shariatmadari of Kayhan dismissed Pezeshkian's advocacy for talks, asserting that the United States and Israel had confessed to their defeat in a previous conflict.
