Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has underlined as “non-negotiable” Iran's right to enrich uranium as he led the fourth round of indirect nuclear talks with the US in Muscat.
“Uranium enrichment capability is a source of pride and accomplishment for the Iranian nation, achieved at a great cost, including the blood of our nuclear scientists; this achievement is unequivocally non-negotiable,” Araghchi said on Sunday before departing for Oman.
The US and Iran have held three rounds of negotiations since April 12. A planned fourth round, originally scheduled for May 3, was postponed due to “logistical reasons,” according to mediator Oman.
The minister touched on the American side’s contradictory statements in and after the negotiations.
