As ceasefire deadline looms, Pezeshkian says Trump cannot deprive Iran of its nuclear 'rights'

 US President Donald Trump has no justification to deprive Iran of its nuclear rights, the Iranian Student News Agency quotes Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian as saying, as Washington and Tehran continue to face disagreements.

“Trump says Iran cannot make use of its nuclear rights but doesn’t say for what crime. Who is he to deprive a nation of its rights?” Pezeshkian is quoted as saying.

The comments come amid the looming expiration of a temporary ceasefire on Wednesday, and the persistence of powder-keg tensions between the US and Iran on key issues that have fueled the conflict.

According to reports, the main areas of dispute remain the matter of Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the Strait of Hormuz.
