Hey fam! 📱👋 Did you catch the UN General Assembly buzz? Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian made waves by flat-out denying any nuclear bomb ambitions: “We have never sought and will never seek to build a nuclear bomb.”
He also threw major shade at the E3—Britain, France and Germany—for invoking the JCPOA’s snapback sanctions. Pezeshkian called the move illegitimate and warned it could “destroy” the deal once hailed as a top-tier diplomatic win. 🔥
Quick refresher: The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) had Iran, the US, UK, China, France, Germany and Russia agree to cap Tehran’s nuclear activities in return for lifted sanctions. But in 2018, the US pulled out and re-imposed trade curbs, prompting Iran to scale back its commitments.
What’s next? 🌐 This spat at the UNGA could ripple across energy prices, tech investments and regional security—so whether you’re a startup ninja in Bangalore or a university student in Jakarta, keep an eye on developments. Big moves in global diplomacy can shift the game for all of us! 🚀
