Iran's president says his country will continue talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not relinquish its rights because of U.S. threats.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country favors negotiations with the United States to avoid war, but rejected what he described as threats by President Donald Trump.

The negotiations have reached the ‘expert’ level, meaning the sides are trying to reach agreement on the details of a possible deal.
