Iran is prepared to significantly reduce its uranium enrichment to prevent Britain reimposing United Nations sanctions, Report informs referring to The Telegraph.
Iranian officials said Tehran was willing to soften its hardline stance to avoid further military strikes from Israel and the United States.
Ali Larijani, the newly appointed secretary of Iran’s supreme national security council, is leading efforts to convince the clerical regime to lower uranium enrichment to 20 percent purity, down from 60 percent.
The current enrichment level is approaching the roughly 90 percent purity required for nuclear weapons development, raising international concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Britain, France and Germany have threatened to reimpose crippling economic sanctions, lifted in 2015, unless the Islamic Republic begins negotiations to renew nuclear talks by the end of August 2025.
The “snapback” clause in the 2015 nuclear deal expires in October, pressuring Europeans to act before they lose the opportunity to rein-in the regime.
Under the snapback mechanism, any party can declare Iran in violation and restore the sanctions. Once the snapback clause expires, new sanctions would need UN approval and could be blocked by China or Russia.
