[Iranian Foreign Minister: Iran Adheres to Peaceful Nuclear Energy Development Path] On the 17th local time, following the Iran-US negotiations, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi attended and addressed the UN Disarmament Conference. Araqchi stated that Iran neither seeks to manufacture nor accumulate nuclear weapons, and the actions of certain Western countries, including the United States, have undermined the negotiation process. Iran has consistently adhered to a peaceful path of nuclear energy development and does not seek to acquire nuclear weapons. Negotiations between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should remain technical. Iran discussed cooperation between the IAEA and Iran with IAEA Director General Grossi yesterday, and the two sides will continue dialogue. Araqchi expressed hope that the negotiations with the United States would reach an agreement, but Iran remains fully prepared to defend against any attack. Any agreement must guarantee Iran's fundamental rights, and the response to attacks on Iran will not be limited to its border regions. (CCTV News)
