Iran welcomes a potential “fair and balanced” US nuclear proposal, but Tehran has not received any proposal for negotiations, the country’s top diplomat says.

“If we receive a reasonable, balanced, and fair proposal from the Americans for negotiations, we will certainly consider it,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tells state television.

However, Araghchi says Tehran will not give up its “right to enrich uranium” but can take confidence-building measures regarding “the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.”

“Of course, this is conditional on the other side also taking steps to build trust — by lifting part of the sanctions,” Araghchi says, adding that Tehran and Washington have been exchanging messages through mediators.
