TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe BBC:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran is ready to discuss global issues with world powers, but that its nuclear programme is non-negotiable.
Speaking to the new UK envoy in Tehran, Mr Ahmadinejad asserted his country’s right to “peaceful nuclear technology”.
Earlier this week, responding to an offer of international discussions by Iran, the US said it planned to bring up the nuclear issue during any talks.
The Iranian government has rejected UN calls to suspend uranium enrichment.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
