Iran Says No Nuclear Talks if US Insists It Stop Enrichment
IRAN, JUL 14 – Iran rejects US demands to end uranium enrichment, citing its rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and warning of retaliation for military strikes on its nuclear sites.
- The Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Monday, July 14, that there would be no new nuclear talks with the United States if they were conditioned on Tehran abandoning its uranium enrichment activities.
- The Oman-mediated negotiations were halted on June 13 when Israel launched a surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, with the United States later joining its ally and carrying out limited strikes.
- Additionally, Iran’s enrichment level underscores, while Ali Velayati, an advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said, 'If the negotiations must be conditioned on stopping enrichment, such negotiations will not take place'.
- In response, Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities and attacked a US base in Qatar, escalating regional tensions.
- Looking ahead, European powers plan to invoke the UN sanctions snapback mechanism by end of August, with Jean-Noel Barrot saying Paris, London and Berlin will trigger it.
