Iran seeks a “peaceful” nuclear agreement with the United States to resolve the decades-long dispute between the two nations, but will not compromise on its national security, Tehran Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Nov. 11.
The United States, Israel, and many European nations have accused the Islamic Republic of using its self-professed “peaceful” nuclear energy program to cloak what they say is its true goal of developing atomic weapons. Tehran rejects this charge.
