They will set up a global ban on working with companies, people and organizations accused of developing Iran’s nuclear program or ballistic missiles. “If the goal had been to resolve concerns on the nuclear program, we could easily do that,” Pezeshkian told reporters, as he insisted again that Iran will never pursue nuclear weapons.
