Iran’s president drops nuclear bombshell at UN, then stuns with Saudi Arabia-Pakistan deal shocker

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian stunned the UN General Assembly, declaring Iran has “never sought and will never seek nuclear weapons.” His statement comes just days before Britain, France, and Germany could trigger the snapback of UN sanctions on September 27. The European powers accuse Tehran of breaking the 2015 nuclear deal, while offering to delay sanctions if Iran allows inspectors and curbs uranium enrichment. Pezeshkian blamed the West for acting at Washington’s command. Is this a turning point in the nuclear standoff—or the calm before escalation?
