Iran says it may be open to temporary enrichment limit

Iran is open to accepting temporary limits on its uranium enrichment, its deputy foreign minister says, adding that talks with the United States have yet to address such specifics.

“For a limited period of time, we can accept a series of restrictions on the level and volume of enrichment,” Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi says.

“We have not yet gone into details about the level and volume of enrichment,” he adds in quotes carried by the Tasnim news agency.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said at the latest round of nuclear talks that the right to enrich uranium was “nonnegotiable,” while US chief negotiator Steve Witkoff called it a “red line.”

Israel has demanded that any agreement prohibit any enrichment, though the US has at times indicated it could agree to a deal that caps enrichment.
