Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday that Tehran has no intention of building nuclear weapons. Speaking in New York just days before a major deadline on sanctions, he firmly rejected global concerns about Iran's nuclear program.

"I hereby declare once more before this assembly that Iran has never sought and will never seek to build a nuclear bomb," Pezeshkian stated. His remarks come as the September 27 deadline approaches, when Britain, France, and Germany-collectively known as the E3-could reimpose U.N. sanctions on Iran for allegedly violating the 2015 nuclear deal.
