Threat of Israeli strike won’t make us give up right to enrich uranium, Iranian official says

Iran will not abandon its right to uranium enrichment because of mounting frictions in the region, a senior Iranian official tells Reuters, adding that a “friendly” regional country had alerted Tehran over a potential Israeli military strike.

The official says the tensions are intended to “influence Tehran to change its position about its nuclear rights” during talks with the United States on Sunday in Oman.
