“Iran’s new leadership, like its predecessors, remains committed to the obligation not to possess nuclear weapons”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is explicitly quoted from a TASS report citing Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. While another source mentions that the US and EU agree Iran 'must never' possess a nuclear weapon, this does not corroborate that Iran's leadership is actually committed to that obligation; it only confirms the desire of other nations. Only one source (TASS) reports the specific commitment of the new leadership.

“the NPT also provides Iran with the right to peaceful nuclear energy under IAEA supervision without any restrictions, including uranium enrichment”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The Wikipedia entry for the 'Iran nuclear deal' (JCPOA) and the general NPT Wikipedia entry confirm the framework of peaceful nuclear energy and uranium enrichment under IAEA supervision. The JCPOA specifically was designed to limit and monitor this right, confirming that the right to peaceful energy (including enrichment) is a recognized component of the NPT framework for non-nuclear-weapon states, provided they remain in compliance.
