US President Donald Trump ​has no justification ‌to deprive Iran of its nuclear ​rights, the ​Iranian Student News Agency ⁠quoted Iranian President ​Masoud Pezeshkian as ​saying on Sunday, as Washington and Tehran ​continue to face ​disagreements over nuclear issues.

“Trump ‌says ⁠Iran cannot make use of its nuclear rights but ​doesn’t ​say ⁠for what crime. Who ​is he to ​deprive ⁠a nation of its rights?” ⁠Pezeshkian ​was quoted ​as saying.

Earlier, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said that talks with the US cannot happen until the two sides agree on a shared “framework”.

He stressed that the two sides have not reached a point where they can meet because of issues on which Washington has taken a “maximalist” position.
