Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirmed Tehran's stance on regional stability, its opposition to conflict, and the peaceful nature of its nuclear program in a phone call with the Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre on Sunday.

Citing the decree (Fatwa) issued by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Pezeshkian affirmed, "We have never sought to build nuclear weapons, as such Iran considers any tension, unrest, and conflict to be harmful to itself, region, and the world."

Earlier today, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN said in a post on X that Iran is open to negotiations with the United States yet only to address concerns over any potential militarization of Tehran's nuclear program, rejecting any talks aimed at dismantling Iran's peaceful nuclear program.

During the phone call, the Iranian president and Norwegian prime minister discussed bilateral ties between the two countries, as well as issues of mutual interest, with Pezeshkian highlighting the good relations between Iran and Norway in all fields and hailing Oslo's efforts in the course of establishing peace and security in the region.

Pezeshkian also emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently acted as a guardian of peace, stability, and security in the region while striving to prevent wars and conflicts as much as possible, adding that the Israeli occupation is the main driver of conflict and tension in the region.

The Iranian president went on to emphasize that the occupation "not only incites war and commits crimes and genocide against the oppressed Palestinian people, but also it is trying to portray the peaceful nuclear activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a cause of insecurity by fabricating crises."

On his part, the Norwegian prime minister emphasized that his country welcomes the peaceful resolution of issues in the region and is ready to provide any assistance and support to this end.
