The Islamic Republic of Iran remains steadfast in asserting its right to develop a peaceful nuclear program, reaffirming its full commitment to international law and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) protocols.
Despite increasing challenges such as unfair sanctions, political coercion and systematic acts of sabotage, Iran maintains its diplomatic stance and defends the peaceful nature of its nuclear program and its people’s interests.
The explosion at Shahid Rajaee port on April 26, 2025 presents a new link to a chain of Zionist plots, leveraging internal elements to destabilize Iran at a delicate diplomatic fork. This article examines Iran’s durability regarding future nuclear negotiations scheduled for May 3, 2025, and highlights Iran’s commitment to transparency in the face of pressure from us and Zionists.
There have been significant advances in the recent round of nuclear negotiations held in Muscat on April 26th. Foreign Minister Abbas Arakich said the talks were “serious and constructive.” According to The New York Times (April 26, 2025), the discussion focuses on uranium enrichment levels and stockpilings, and Iran reiterates its commitment to transparency. A fifth negotiation in Muscat has been set for May 3, aiming to draft a final agreement that will ensure the full lifting of sanctions while maintaining Iran’s right to peaceful enrichment.
Iran clearly outlines its demands. It is an international guarantee to ensure full sanctions relief, recognition of domestic enrichment rights and implementation. On April 30, 2025, Arakich mentioned the decline in the role of European troika (UK, France, Germany) due to “biased policies,” but Iran’s preparations have been confirmed to meet with representatives before the next round to strengthen coordination.
This balanced approach reflects Iran’s diplomatic sophistication. In the face of the European threat and the European threat of activating the so-called “snapback mechanism,” Arakichi dismisses it as a “political threat” and affirming Iran will not succumb to pressure.
Meanwhile, the Zionist administration is working to block talks by putting pressure on the Trump administration. The Jerusalem Post (April 15, 2025) has made it clear that Netanyahu will call for a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program. This is an unrealistic position aimed at destroying potential deals. Araqchi has denounced Netanyahu for “blatant intervention” in US domestic politics.
However, Trump’s optimistic statement on April 30, 2025 suggests that Iran will convince the US of the benefits of diplomatic settlement and undermine the effects of Zionist pressure.
Iran has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons and has once again declared its absolute commitment to a peaceful nuclear program designed for energy needs, scientific research and medical applications. The visit of IAEA Director Rafael Grossi to Tehran on April 28, 2025 reaffirmed this commitment as he expressed his “high satisfaction” with Iran’s level of cooperation. Since 2002, Iran has been providing clean samples to its agents.
But former President Hassan Rouhani revealed a US Zionist plot at the time to falsely accuse Iran by replacing samples with contaminated ones. He also revealed that several imported centrifuges were intentionally contaminated with highly enriched uranium (80-90%).
Supported by the Occupation Regime and reinforced by false narratives, this plot aims to damage Iran’s credibility and justify sanctions. On March 18, 2025, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei repeatedly said that Iran had never pursued nuclear weapons, denounced the “double standards” in the West and criticised him for turning a blind eye to European violations of nuclear deals.
The explosion at Shahid Rajaee port on April 26, 2025 appears to be a coordinated sabotage supported by foreign entities, in line with the latest consultations. Certain reports point to the identification of “communication codes” between infiltrators, suggesting a broader plan targeting other critical infrastructures, such as the Petrochemical Plants and Laboratory in Isfahan.
Haaretz (April 20, 2025) highlighted the use of the Zionist regime’s cyber-espirit tools and recruitment of internal actors to target Iran’s industrial infrastructure. Additionally, the New York Times (April 13, 2025) noted that social dissatisfaction is being misused in these businesses.
The potential involvement of domestic elements related to foreign actors in the recent explosion cannot be ruled out, especially given the harsh economic situation that may encourage some people to betray. The incident clearly aims to undermine Iran’s diplomatic and economic positions, requiring immediate investigations to identify responsible people across the country’s major facilities and enhance security.
Despite promising signals from Trump regarding potential deals, the new sanctions targeting Iranian and Chinese groups on April 29, 2025 highlight the contradictions in Washington’s policy. Araqchi described the move as “provocative” and said it would raise questions about the seriousness of the United States.
Statement by Republican Senators Tom Cotton and Joni Ernst on April 30, 2025 – reflecting the impact of the Zionist Lobby due to the complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program and the threatening war. These threats are unfounded as Iran repeatedly confirms its peaceful nuclear intent. It has been confirmed in many IAEA reports.
The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to walk the path of wise diplomacy, as demonstrated by the constructive cooperation between the IAEA and the visit of Grossi. Future consultations will provide an opportunity to lift sanctions and solidify Iran’s enrichment rights, particularly with the support of allies such as Russia and China. In response to foreign obstruction, on April 30, 2025, Iranian officials announced urgent measures including:
• Strengthening surveillance using advanced technology for ports and industrial facilities
• Security upgrades for the laboratory and petrochemical industry
More powerful inter-engine adjustments to close invasive gaps
• Improve public awareness and national solidarity to counter recruitment attempts
Iran is facing a coordinated siege by the US and Zionist regimes, aiming to stop progress through sanctions and sabotage. However, Iran’s nuclear programme was impromptually peaceful and transparent, enduring these conspiracies. The revelation by Luhani is evidence of this durability. The next round of negotiations is Iran’s chance to prove its validity and break the siege. The explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port exposed the malicious intent of the enemy, but Iranian security and national unity guarantee a victory for diplomacy and resilience.
