Iran insists on its legal right to peaceful nuclear energy use, postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage, amid ongoing US talks. Tehran demands the end of the Strait of Hormuz blockade and US troop withdrawal from the Persian Gulf as part of peace proposals. 

Despite sanctions, Iran asserts strong defensive capabilities and rejects claims of strategic weakening. The ambassador emphasizes diplomacy for regional stability, realistic peace frameworks, and highlights India's key role in supporting dialogue, multilateralism, and regional security.
