Iran Warns US Over Nuclear Talks as Doubts Grow on Trump Deal
Iran has warned the U.S. that it will not give up its right to its enrich uranium, casting doubt on prospects for a deal as Tehran considers a U.S. proposal for curbing its nuclear program. Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. State Department for comment. Iran's stance directly clashes with U.S. President Donald Trump's position that Iran must halt all enrichment amid negotiations marked by uncertainty, despite having reached their most significant step since they began in April with a U.S. offer being delivered to Tehran last week. While Washington suggested a deal is within reach, talks may be stalling, increasing the risks for confrontation. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has ruled out the possibility of reaching a deal with the U.S. unless Iran's right to enrich uranium is formally recognized, according to the semi-official Tasnim news Agency. "Iran won't leave the negotiating table while protecting its national interests," government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said in a Tuesday press conference according to Tasnim. When asked about the possibility of failure of the nuclear talks with the U.S., she said, Mohajerani said Iran is prepared to deal with "all scenarios." The United States has proposed a consortium-including regional states and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)-to oversee limited enrichment in Iran and possibly invest in its civilian nuclear program, according to CNN but a senior Iranian official told the publication that the latest U.S. proposal was "incoherent and disjointed." In May, Trump said negotiations were "very close to a solution" and warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against preemptive strikes against Iran. Iranian Government Spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani, as quoted by Tasnim News Agency: "All scenarios are on the table. We are prepared for everything. The administration has no doubt about implementing its plans. U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on social media, according to The Associated Press: "Under our potential Agreement - WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!" Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, according to Tasnim News Agency: "The proposal for a regional consortium for uranium enrichment is not a new idea... If some parties are proposing such a process, we welcome it and have no problem with participation either. But we emphasize that such an initiative cannot replace enrichment inside Iran." Oman, mediating between the two sides, has delivered to Iran a U.S. proposal which currently awaits an Iranian response. That could give an indication of whether a deal is still possible or whether the risk rises of a military confrontation.

Putin has invitation to visit Iran, but dates have yet to be set: Kremlin

Iran pledges to implement security agreement with Iraq
Shafaq News/ Iran is committed to implement the security agreement signed with Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani announced on Tuesday. Mohajerani noted in a press conference that the Iraqi government and the authorities in the Kurdistan Region enjoy 'strong understanding and cooperation' in ensuring security on both sides of the frontier. 'Serious efforts are currently underway to implement the agreement,' Mohajerani revealed, adding that there is full communication between officials in both countries and a clear political will. In 2023, Iran and Iraq signed a border security agreement in Baghdad, committing to enhanced cooperation to prevent cross-border attacks by Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The pact followed a series of Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting these groups, which Tehran accused of inciting unrest within Iran. Under the agreement, Iraq pledged to disarm and relocate the opposition factions away from the border areas. Subsequent reports indicated that Iraq closed 80 bases of these groups and handed over heavy weapons to the Peshmerga forces.
