Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze in Yerevan, Armenia. Addressing US sanctions, Pezeshkian stated the measures are “beyond humanitarian frameworks and [US] attacks in recent months are unjustifiable and inhumane”. He denied Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, calling propaganda against the country “lies”, and reiterated readiness for dialogue, adding, “They think they can make us surrender, but we will not give in to force.”
