Iran lawmaker denies nuclear weapons pursuit, counters Vance remarks

Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi stated Tehran is not seeking nuclear weapons, framing its program as NPT-compliant, in response to US VP Vance's demand for meaningful reductions. This is a reiteration of Iran's longstanding position, but the timing and direct rebuttal to a senior US official signal continued diplomatic friction. The claim is unverified and part of ongoing nuclear diplomacy.
