Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the United States has changed its stance during ongoing negotiations in Switzerland. Speaking about the talks, he said the other side had previously demanded negotiations over Iran's missiles, but now accepts Iran's right to possess them.
Pezeshkian said the shift in attitude toward Iran was the result of what he described as the sacrifice of Iran's armed forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as national unity. His remarks came as the talks with Washington continue in Switzerland.
The statement frames the latest diplomatic round as one in which Tehran believes it has forced a change in U.S. positions on a central security issue. No further details were given about the negotiations or their outcome.
