Ali Shamkhani, political advisor to Iran's leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei, announced on Wednesday that the United States has recognized that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, basing its position on findings from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its own intelligence agencies.

In a post on X, Shamkhani stated, "Accepting assessments by the IAEA & its own intelligence agencies, the US has acknowledged Iran does not possess nukes." He added that both sides remain committed to pursuing constructive dialogue.

Shamkhani stressed that progress hinges on two conditions; lifting sanctions and recognizing Iran’s right to industrial-scale uranium enrichment. “Sanction removal and recognition of Iran’s right to industrial enrichment can guarantee a deal,” he said.
