"We are not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. We have stated this repeatedly and are ready for any verification," Pezeshkian said during a speech at Azadi Square in Tehran marking the 47th anniversary of Iran's Islamic Revolution.

"Our country, Iran, will not yield to their excessive demands," he added, after Tehran resumed indirect talks with Washington on its nuclear program.

On Iranian state TV, authorities broadcast images of people taking to the streets across the country Wednesday to support the regime and its 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

In the streets Wednesday, people waved images of Khamenei and his predecessor Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, alongside Iranian and Palestinian flags. Some chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”

Others criticized Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who had been calling for anti-government protests.

The anniversary comes as the public angrily denounced Tehran's bloody crackdown on nationwide protests that took place in late December and early January.

The country's rulers remain under pressure from US President Donald , who suggested sending another aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.

Trump made the suggestion in an interview published Tuesday night, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington to push the US toward the strictest possible terms in any agreement reached with Tehran in the fledgling nuclear talks.

The US bombed Iranian nuclear sites last June during a 12-day Iran-Israel conflict.

Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not been able to verify the status of Iran's near weapons-grade uranium stockpile since the 12-day conflict, when Tehran suspended its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi reached an agreement with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in September 2025 to resume inspections, but the UN reimposed sanctions on Iran that same month, leading the country to halt implementation of the agreement.

A fresh round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the US concluded in Muscat on last Friday, mediated by the Sultanate of Oman.

Pezeshkian has described the talks as "a step forward," emphasising that Tehran's rationale concerning the issue is based on the rights enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Senior Iranian security official Ali Larijani travelled from Oman to Qatar on Wednesday, with Qatar hosting a major US military installation. — Agencies
