Wed Apr 09 16:54:01 UTC 2025: ## Iran Denies Seeking Nuclear Weapons, Hints at US Investment in Potential Deal
**MUSCAT, Oman** – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s longstanding denial of seeking nuclear weapons ahead of indirect talks with the United States in Oman this weekend. In a statement released today, President Pezeshkian asserted that Iran’s nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes. He further suggested that direct US investment in Iran could be a possibility if a comprehensive agreement is reached during the upcoming negotiations. The comments come as anticipation builds for the talks, which are expected to focus on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The indirect discussions, mediated by Oman, will be closely watched by global powers concerned about Iran’s nuclear capabilities and regional stability.
