Iran is prepared to comply with international standards to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities, the presidency said Tuesday.
The remarks came during a phone call between President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi, according to a statement from Iran's presidency.
Pezeshkian said Iran had shown full readiness in all negotiations to offer assurances within the framework of international regulations and global monitoring mechanisms.
He criticized what he described as contradictory U.S. policies, saying Washington continues to apply pressure while simultaneously calling for negotiations.
The Iranian president also said Iran had come under attack during previous rounds of nuclear talks and was again facing military threats while diplomatic efforts were ongoing.
