Iran signals readiness to dilute its stockpile of 60-percent enriched uranium, but only if the United States lifts all imposed sanctions. The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization presented this conditional offer during recent discussions.
Firm Stance Against Zero Enrichment
Tehran firmly rejects U.S. demands for halting all uranium enrichment. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized that enrichment remains essential to Iran’s sovereignty and national dignity, declaring it non-negotiable.
Amid Escalating Regional Tensions
These statements emerge against a backdrop of rising tensions in the region, including bolstered U.S. military deployments. Indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran persist in Oman, focusing on core disputes.
Diplomatic efforts continue, yet deep divisions linger over sanctions relief, enrichment levels, and mutual trust between the parties.
