TEHERAN - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said here Sunday that the United States has begun an "endless war" across the world to plunder other countries' resources and even human workforce, the official news agency IRNA reported.

The West seeks to provoke conflicts in the Middle East to own the regional countries' resources at any price it wants, Pezeshkian said at the opening ceremony of the Teheran Dialogue Forum, a two-day event that has drawn 200 foreign delegations, including senior government officials and representatives of international organizations, to discuss regional and global challenges.

Pezeshkian added that Iran has nothing to hide and will under no circumstances stop its "peaceful nuclear program."

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, talking about the Iran-US indirect talks at the ceremony, said Iran wants "a fair and balanced agreement that would be formed within the framework of the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and based on full respect for Iran's nuclear rights and guarantee the removal of sanctions in an objective manner."

"Iran is committed to diplomacy and expects the cruel and unilateral sanctions, which have directly targeted our people, to be truly and tangibly lifted," he said.

He added that Iran is ready to open a new chapter in its ties with Europe if the latter has a real determination and adopts an independent approach towards Iran.

The Iranian and US delegations have held four rounds of indirect talks on Teheran's nuclear program and the lifting of US sanctions in the Omani capital Muscat and Italy's Rome.

Meanwhile, Iran and three European countries -- France, Germany and Britain, collectively known as the E3 -- held a high-level meeting in Türkiye's Istanbul on Friday on the latest developments in the Iran-US indirect talks, the sixth round of such talks between Iran and the E3 since September 2024, which have covered Teheran's nuclear program and the removal of sanctions, among other issues.

'Agreement possible if US stops coercion'

Also on Sunday, Pezeshkian said that reaching an agreement with the United States is possible if it refrains from applying coercion on Teheran.

Pezeshkian made the remarks in a meeting with visiting Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Teheran, according to a statement published on the website of the president's office.

"Reaching an agreement with the United States is achievable. However, making that happen requires a fundamental condition that the American side refrains from the approach of coercion," Pezeshkian said when talking about the ongoing indirect talks between Iran and the United States.

For his part, Al Thani voiced Qatar's support for Iran and its rights, saying that pressure and coercion had proven ineffective when dealing with Iran, "as shown by experience."

In a separate meeting with visiting Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi in Teheran on the same day, Pezeshkian praised Oman's "committed and constructive" role in hosting the indirect talks between Teheran and Washington, according to another statement from Pezeshkian's office.

Pezeshkian expressed hope that the talks would lead to a fair agreement that would guarantee sustainable stability in West Asia.
