Iran says any nuclear deal must respect 'right' to enrich uranium
Iran insisted Saturday that any new nuclear deal must respect its right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, rejecting U.S. demands for a halt.

"We will not have any agreement in which enrichment is not included." AFP

France urges restraint, diplomacy after "concerning" US strikes on Iran
PARIS, June 22 (Reuters) - France's foreign minister said on Sunday that Paris was concerned by U.S. air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites overnight and urged all sides to show restraint and move to towards a negotiated solution to the crisis. Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot wrote on X that France, which had held talks with Iran on Friday in Geneva along with its European partners, had neither participated in these strikes nor in their planning. "France has noted with concern the strikes carried out last night by the United States against three Iranian nuclear programme sites," Barrot, who spoke with his U.S. counterpart Marco Rubio on Saturday evening, said. "France is convinced that a lasting resolution to this issue requires a negotiated solution within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty," Barrot wrote on X.

Iran says no new nuclear proposal, disputing Trump: ‘Confusing and contradictory' messaging
A top Iranian official pushed back on President Trump Friday, calling his recent remarks about a nuclear deal 'confusing and contradictory.' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned from the Middle East earlier Friday that the U.S. gave Iran a formal proposal for a new nuclear agreement, urging Tehran to 'move quickly.' 'Iran has not received any written proposal from the United States, whether directly or indirectly,' Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi wrote on the social media platform X. 'In the meantime, the messaging we—and the world—continue to receive is confusing and contradictory. 'Iran nonetheless remains determined and straightforward: Respect our rights and terminate your sanctions, and we have a deal,' he continued. Earlier this week, Trump told reporters that the two countries were in 'very serious negotiations.' And in recent days, the president has also signaled an openness to the Middle Eastern country developing a civilian nuclear program but has indicated that Tehran cannot have its own nuclear weapon. Araghchi, in his Friday post, stressed Iran's commitment to nuclear enrichment. 'Mark my words: there is no scenario in which Iran abandons its hard-earned right to enrichment for peaceful purposes: a right afforded to all other [Non-Proliferation Treaty] signatories, too,' he wrote, referring to the international nuclear treaty. Officials from Iran and the U.S. have met in recent weeks to hash out the terms of an agreement. Trump, during his first term, withdrew from a deal made by former President Obama, which offered sanction relief in exchange for nuclear limits. In an interview that aired on Fox News Friday evening, Trump reiterated his hope for quick negotiations. 'Iran wants to trade with us, okay, if you can believe that. And I'm OK with it,' the president told host Bret Baier. 'I'm using trade to settle scores and to make peace. But I've told Iran we make a deal.' 'There's not plenty of time,' he added.
