Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has described allegations concerning Iran’s peaceful nuclear programs as a fabricated pretext used by the United States to justify sanctions, economic restrictions and political pressure, stressing that Tehran will never accept diplomacy based on coercion, blackmail or unilateral demands.
