An agreement is achievable if the US gives up its excessive demands and sticks to the nuclear issues that have been the bone of contention.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIran does not have nuclear weapons production in its defense doctrine,\u201d Dastmalchian said. \u201cThe Islamic Republic is ready to provide the necessary guarantees that must be given accordingly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He referred to statements by US President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, emphasizing that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons. \u201cPerhaps this is a common point,\u201d he noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yet the former diplomat and foreign affairs analyst stated that complications arise not from the nuclear file itself, but from Washington\u2019s \u201cunreasonable demands.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEnrichment is an undeniable right that the Islamic Republic of Iran has insisted on from the beginning, because it is a science and knowledge,\u201d Dastmalchian said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nuclear expertise, he added, extends beyond energy into multiple civilian sectors. From Tehran\u2019s perspective, recognizing that right is a prerequisite for any durable agreement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>@<\/p>\n<div class=\"page-content-wrapper-home\">\n<div
