Iran FM says ready to reach ‘reassuring’ deal with US on nuclear enrichment

Iran’s foreign minister insists that nuclear enrichment was an “inalienable right” for Tehran, but he was ready to reach a “reassuring” deal with the United States over the issue.

“(Nuclear) enrichment is our inalienable right and must continue. Even with bombing, they could not destroy our capabilities. We are ready to reach a reassuring agreement on enrichment,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says, according to excerpts published on his official Telegram channel of an interview with the Al Jazeera network.

Araghchi’s statements come after holding two rounds of indirect talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Oman yesterday, negotiations that appeared to return to the starting point on how to approach discussions over Tehran’s nuclear program.
