Iran rules out compromise on uranium enrichment

Tehran will not negotiate over its right to enrich uranium or dismantle its nuclear infrastructure, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, even as the country signals readiness to engage over international concerns, Report informs referring to Iran International.

“The preservation of Iran’s enrichment capabilities and nuclear infrastructure is non-negotiable,” he said, according to Iranian state media on Saturday. "Iran remains open to confidence-building over the peaceful nature of its nuclear program but will not trade away rights granted under the Non-Proliferation Treaty."

Separately, in a post on X, Araghchi said Iran had “not received any written proposal from the United States, whether directly or indirectly,” and criticized Washington’s posture. “The messaging we - and the world - continue to receive is confusing and contradictory,” he wrote. “Respect our rights and terminate your sanctions, and we have a deal.”

“There is no scenario in which Iran abandons its hard-earned right to enrichment for peaceful purposes: a right afforded to all other NPT signatories, too,” he added.
