The Iranian Foreign Minister has reiterated his country’s position regarding the indirect talks with the US, saying Washington’s insistence on zero uranium enrichment will yield no deal.
Abbas Araghchi, however, noted that the two sides can reach a deal if quote “zero nuclear weapons” is discussed. He said the path to a deal is not rocket science, adding that it’s time to decide. The top Iranian diplomat made the remarks in a social media post before leaving Tehran to attend the 5th round of talks with the US in Rome later today. Over the past days, some US officials have insisted on the complete cessation of Iran's peaceful uranium enrichment activities. Tehran regards the enrichment as an inalienable right, saying it will continue its enrichment program regardless of the outcome of the talks.
