Iranian Foreign Ministry: Uranium enrichment is a non-negotiable "red line"
Tehran - Saba:
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran's right to uranium enrichment is a "red line" that cannot be waived in any future negotiations.
Gharibabadi's statement came during a meeting of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee on Sunday evening, where he gave a report on the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States that recently took place in the Italian capital Rome, and answered the MPs' inquiries.
Committee spokesman MP Ebrahim Rezaei quoted Gharibabadi as emphasizing Iran's "seriousness in the negotiations," calling on the other side to show the same seriousness and not succumb to the pressure exerted by the Zionist entity to undermine the talks.
He emphasized that Iran's proposals are based on the leadership's directives , the endorsements of higher institutions, and call for a comprehensive lifting of the embargo in order to bring tangible economic gains to the Iranian people.
According to Rezaei, Gharibabadi stressed that "Iran does not seek to possess nuclear weapons, and that its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful uses only," noting that "uranium enrichment is carried out within this framework."
He also announced that "technical meetings between experts from both sides will be held indirectly in the Omani capital Muscat on Wednesday to discuss the technical details of the negotiations," stressing "the need to remove the legal structure of the embargo, including laws passed by the US Congress and executive orders issued by the White House."

Trump threatens Iran with "different approach" if it enriches uranium
Washington - Saba: US President Donald Trump has reiterated his warning to Iran against proceeding with uranium enrichment on its territory, stressing that his country "will not allow it." In statements reported by US media aboard Air Force One while en route to Jersey on Friday evening, Trump explained that "Washington will have to take different measures if Iran continues to enrich uranium," without specifying the nature of these measures. Trump added: "They will not enrich... and if they enrich, we will have to take action and take a different direction," indicating the possibility of adopting a policy far from negotiations. The US President stressed that he does not want escalation, but he will not hesitate to take the necessary measures, concluding his remarks by saying: "We will have no other choice... We will not allow enrichment." These statements came two days after Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected a US proposal to establish a "regional consortium" (a grouping of two or more countries working together) to manage uranium enrichment, raising questions about the fate of the negotiations between the two countries. The sixth round of US-Iranian negotiations was expected to be held soon, but Khamenei deemed the US proposal contrary to Tehran's interests. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
