Masoud Pezeshkian, the president of Iran’s regime, stated in an interview with Al Jazeera that the regime is prepared to “strike deep into Israel.” He added that the claim that Iran’s nuclear program has ended is a “delusion.”
Following regime’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, Pezeshkian also reiterated Iran’s claimed right to enrich uranium.
On Tuesday, July 22, in an interview with the Al Jazeera television news network, Pezeshkian reiterated Tehran’s stance on its claimed right to enrich uranium and declared that the idea Iran’s nuclear program had ended is a “delusion,” because, according to him, the program “exists in the minds of scientists,” not just in “nuclear facilities.”
This was Pezeshkian’s first interview with Al Jazeera following the 12-day war between Iran’s regime and Israel.

In the interview, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran’s regime “does not seek war but also does not rely on the permanence of a ceasefire and is prepared to defend itself.” He added that “we are ready for any Israeli military action, and our forces are prepared to strike deep into Israel again.”
He acknowledged that Israel inflicted blows on Iran but also claimed that Iran “powerfully struck deep into Israel” and alleged that Israel “conceals its own losses.”
In the interview, Pezeshkian admitted that there are “some intelligence infiltrations” within Iran’s military levels but attributed the primary cause of these infiltrations to Israel’s use of “American technology and capabilities.”
Pezeshkian Reiterates Uranium Enrichment Right One Day After Iran’s Foreign Minister’s Statement
On the evening of Monday, July 21, Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran’s regime, stated in an interview with Fox News that Tehran would not relinquish its uranium enrichment program.
He stated that it is clear they cannot abandon enrichment because it is an achievement of their scientists and a matter of national pride. According to Araghchi, any nuclear agreement that is reached must include the right to enrich uranium for Iran.
The regime’s foreign minister also acknowledged that Iran’s nuclear facilities had suffered serious damage and admitted that the enrichment program is currently halted due to the severity of these damages.
U.S. President Donald Trump reacted to Araghchi’s remarks in the Fox News interview by reposting part of his statements on his Truth Social account and issuing a warning to Tehran.
Trump had previously asserted that a U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June had resulted in the complete destruction of all three sites.
