Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticized an initial proposal from the US regarding nuclear negotiations but left the door open for dialogue. Khamenei reiterated Iran's stance on uranium enrichment, a key issue in any potential agreement. While details of the US proposal remain vague, Khamenei's words indicate Iran's cautious approach to talks, balancing the need for economic relief against national enrichment rights. Iran's Foreign Minister suggested a response to the US would be forthcoming, implying ongoing interest in negotiations despite strict red lines.
"If we had 100 nuclear power plants while not having enrichment, they are not usable for us," Khamenei said.
Khamenei emphasized Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment, saying, "If we do not have enrichment, then we should extend our hand (begging) to the US."
The details of the US proposal remain unclear, even after five rounds of talks between Tehran and Washington.
Khamenei's remarks indicate a complex dance between the need for negotiations with the US and the firm stance on Iran's nuclear enrichment.
