Pezeshkian: Iran’s Nuclear Policy Based on NPT Rights
WANA (Feb 08) – Iran’s President has emphasized that recent talks between Iran and the United States, held with the facilitation of friendly governments in the region, represent a step forward, stressing that dialogue has always been Tehran’s preferred strategy for the peaceful resolution of disputes and that Iran’s nuclear stance is grounded in the rights guaranteed under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In a message published on Sunday, February 8, 2026, on the social media platform X, President Masoud Pezeshkian described the talks as “a step forward,” noting that dialogue remains Iran’s consistent approach to resolving issues through peaceful means. He stated that Iran’s position on the nuclear issue is based on the rights explicitly recognized in the NPT, adding that the Iranian nation responds to respect with respect, but does not accept the language of threats and pressure.
The remarks come as a new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States began on Friday, February 6. The talks were attended by Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on one side, and Steve Witkoff, the U.S. President’s Special Envoy for the Middle East, along with Jared Kushner, on the other.
Following the conclusion of the talks, Araghchi described the start of the negotiations as positive, saying that both sides would return to their respective capitals for further consultations. He added that there was a mutual understanding on continuing the dialogue and that the negotiation process would move forward. The Iranian foreign minister also stressed that Iran had clearly conveyed to the U.S. side that any dialogue requires refraining from threats and pressure.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking hours after the talks concluded, said that “good discussions” had taken place with Iran and claimed that the Iranian side genuinely seeks an agreement. He reiterated that Washington’s primary condition is ensuring that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
The exchange of statements from both sides is seen as an indication of ongoing efforts to manage tensions through diplomacy—a path that Iran insists must be pursued on the basis of mutual respect, international law, and commitments enshrined in formal international treaties.

Night of Iran–U.S. Talks; Sanctions Intensified Again
WANA (Feb 08) – At the same time as the first round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States was held in Muscat with Oman’s mediation, Washington imposed new sanctions on Iran’s energy and transportation sectors. This move shows that economic pressure continues even amid dialogue.
Early Saturday morning, the U.S. Treasury Department added 2 individuals, 15 companies, and 14 vessels linked to Iran to its sanctions list. These sanctions target individuals and entities from several countries, including Turkey, India, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and China.
Meanwhile, the U.S. president issued a new executive order authorizing the imposition of additional tariffs on imports from countries that purchase goods from Iran. The order has a broad scope and also includes Iranian government institutions, the Central Bank of Iran, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The pattern of imposing sanctions alongside negotiations has persisted since the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018. Data show that since the start of Iran–U.S. talks in April 2025 till now, more than 214 new sanctions have been imposed on Iran’s oil sales network.
These actions indicate that while Washington promotes “constructive dialogue,” it is simultaneously increasing economic pressure on Iran and its trading partners—an approach that raises serious questions about trust in the United States in any diplomatic process.
