President Pezeshkian Says Verification Of Iran's Nuclear Program Is An 'easy Task'

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said it would be easy to verify Iran is not developing atomic weapons, state TV reported on Thursday, a day after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to have a Tehran-verified nuclear peace agreement.

In a meeting with foreign ambassadors in Tehran television broadcast by President Pezeshkian said Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons because mass killings of innocent people were prohibited in Iranian doctrine.

"Verifying (our nuclear program) is an easy task, they have come and verified whenever they want to and they can come to verify one hundred more times," President Pezeshkian said.

President Pezeshkian's comments came a day after a senior Iranian official told Reuters Iran was ready to give the United States the opportunity to resolve the dispute.

Earlier, President Trump said on Wednesday he wanted to have a verified nuclear peace agreement with Iran.

Iran responded by ready to give the United States the opportunity to resolve disputes between the two countries.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said US concerns about the development of Iran's nuclear weapons were not a complicated and solvable issue given Tehran's rejection of weapons of mass destruction.

Foreign Minister Araqchi said Tehran wanted the United States to control Israel if Washington wanted to reach an agreement with Iran.

Trump brought the United States out of the 2015 Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) between Iran and world powers unilaterally in 2018, again imposing sanctions on Iran, in the first period of his administration.

The sanctions that hit Iran's economic sector prompted Tehran to violate the pact's nuclear boundaries.
