US EditionIran rules out US demand to end uranium enrichment during Oman talks, diplomat says
Iran insists on its sovereign right to uranium enrichment despite U.S. demands for zero enrichment, tying progress to sanctions relief and military de-escalation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
- Following indirect talks in Oman on Friday, Abbas Araghchi said Iran will not abandon its right to enrich uranium, treating it as a red line.
- Context: Araghchi argued Iran's strength comes from its ability to say no, linking enrichment to sovereignty, dignity, and strategic autonomy, as the nuclear programme is described as peaceful by Tehran.
- Military and economic moves: Washington deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln and announced sanctions targeting vessels, 15 entities and two people, after the talks in Oman.
- Iran's military publicly warned it would respond if demands are rejected, with Brigadier-General Mohammad Akraminia saying they are ready for war, while U.S. officials and President Donald Trump cautioned that failure could have serious consequences.
- Looking ahead, analysts warn the gulf remains wide as Oman will consult on the next talks, amid intermittent progress between Tehran and Washington.
