Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declares that uranium enrichment will continue "with or without a deal," even as nuclear talks with the US progress. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, asserted Sunday that the Islamic Republic will continue enriching uranium "with or without a deal" with world powers, despite ongoing negotiations regarding its nuclear program, AFP reported.
This firm declaration comes as Tehran engages in high-stakes discussions with global counterparts, particularly the United States and European powers, concerning its nuclear ambitions and the future of the 2015 nuclear accord. The US is interested in ensuring that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, a deal is within reach, and we are ready for a serious conversation to achieve a solution that will forever ensure that outcome," Araghchi posted on X. He swiftly followed with a categorical statement, "Enrichment in Iran, however, will continue with or without a deal."
Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, a level significantly exceeding the 3.67-percent limit stipulated in the 2015 agreement, though still below the 90 percent purity required for a nuclear warhead. Tehran consistently maintains that its nuclear activities are solely for peaceful, civilian purposes and are entirely peaceful. (Ed note: These two articles about tell it all.
