Tehran, May 25: Iranian President Masoud Pagehshkian stated on Sunday that Iran is ready to assure the world that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons. He emphasized that his country does not desire unrest, but accused the Israeli regime of exploiting every opportunity to perpetuate war and chaos.
