On Wednesday, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran is prepared for any verification of its nuclear program, amid ongoing negotiations with the U.S. and widespread internal unrest.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday his country is prepared for "any verification" of its nuclear programme, insisting Tehran is not seeking atomic weapons, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

"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 programme.

The anniversary comes as the country's ruling theocrats remain under pressure from US President Donald Trump, 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 prepares to come to 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.
