Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi made it clear on Wednesday thatIran's right to enrich uranium“No negotiation”. This statement comes on the eve of the second round of consultations between Iran and the United States on Oman on the Iran nuclear issue this weekend.
Araghi's remarks are in response to the statement made by U.S. chief negotiator Witkov on Tuesday, who claimed Tehran must "stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment activities" to reach an agreement with Washington.
“We heard contradictory statements from Witkov, but the real position will be clear at the negotiating table,” said Alaghi, “We are willing to build trust on the concerns that Iran’s uranium enrichment may arouse, but the enrichment principle itself cannot be negotiated. ”
According to the arrangement, Iran and the United States will hold a second round of talks in Oman on Saturday to discuss Iran's escalating nuclear plan. U.S. President Trump has previously threatened that military action will be taken if an agreement cannot be reached.
According to Iran's official media reports, Araghi will visit Russia on Thursday to pass on letters from Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei to Russian President Putin. Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazim Jalari posted on social media X: "As a time of major evolution in the global situation, maintaining close, continuous and mutually trustworthy communication between Iran and Russia will help maintain regional and international peace and stability."
The Kremlin declined to comment on Tuesday when asked whether it was preparing to take over Iran's enriched uranium stockpile (as part of a potential future nuclear deal). The Guardian reported that Tehran is expected to reject the U.S. proposal to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile to third countries such as Russia, part of Washington's attempt to reduce Iran's nuclear program.
