Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, reaffirmed that the country's right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is non-negotiable ahead of indirect nuclear talks with the US in Muscat, Oman. Araghchi highlighted the need for assurances against developing nuclear weapons while emphasizing that enrichment is a source of national pride and a point of sacrifice. The talks come after the US withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, which allowed Iran limited civilian enrichment but sought to curb its potential for military development. Iran has raised concerns about conflicting statements from US negotiators.
"Enrichment is one of the achievements and honours of the Iranian nation. We have paid a heavy price for enrichment. The blood of our nuclear scientists has been spilled for this achievement."
"Iran remains committed to providing verifiable assurances that it will not be able to develop a nuclear bomb which has been Trump’s main demand."
