US EditionRussia Slams Report It Backed 'Zero Enrichment' Iran Nuclear Deal
RUSSIA, JUL 13 – Russia calls a U.S. Axios report urging Iran to accept zero uranium enrichment a politically motivated defamation campaign aimed at escalating nuclear tensions, officials said.
- On June 13, Israel initiated a unique assault on Iran, which set off a conflict lasting 12 days and included U.S. airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites near Tehran and other locations on June 22.
- The hostilities interrupted talks that began in April between Tehran and Washington, which aimed to suspend Iran’s nuclear activities in return for the removal of economic sanctions.
- Russia reaffirmed Iran's sovereign right to pursue civilian nuclear enrichment and rejected claims that President Putin urged Iran to agree to a deal that would halt uranium enrichment.
- The Russian Foreign Ministry called these reports a "new political defamation campaign" designed to escalate tensions and emphasized resolving the crisis through diplomacy and political means.
- The war and subsequent bombings have complicated the nuclear issue, raised regional tensions, and highlight Russia's delicate role as mediator amid competing interests, while Iran insists on its non-negotiable enrichment rights.
