Araghchi cited among the costs two decades of US sanctions, the targeted killings of Iranian scientists and US-Israeli attacks on nuclear facilities in July. We're not going to give [our nuclear programme] up; there is no legal reason to do that"
"Asked by Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan why Iran would want to pursue enrichment on its soil rather than buy enriched uranium from abroad, given the US military build-up and risk of an escalation, Araghchi said the issue was a matter of dignity and pride for Iranians. We have developed this technology by ourselves, by our scientists, and it is very dear to us because we have created it we have paid a huge expense for that, he said."
Oman confirmed US-Iran negotiations are scheduled in Geneva on Thursday with an expressed intent to push toward finalizing a deal. The announcement coincides with increased US military assets in the region, raising concerns about potential escalation. Iran indicated readiness to implement a full monitoring mechanism to guarantee the peaceful nature of its nuclear programme and to ease tensions. Iranian officials framed domestic enrichment as a matter of national dignity and scientific achievement, citing costs including decades of sanctions, targeted killings of scientists, and attacks on facilities. Iran stated it will not abandon its programme while safeguarded by the IAEA and within NPT rights.
