Tehran will insist on right to enrich uranium in nuclear talks with US, Iranian media reports
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s semi-official IRNA news agency says that Tehran will not give up its right to enrich uranium under any deal it makes with the United States.
Negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program are expected to begin after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, which US President Donald Trump has claimed could be signed as early as this weekend.
IRNA reports that Iran will “negotiate only the nuclear program solely within the framework of the Islamic Republic’s fundamental principles.”
“Issues such as Iran’s right to enrich uranium and the retention of enriched material by the Islamic Republic of Iran will be emphasized with a view to their inclusion in the final agreement,” it says.
