US EditionWitkoff Says US 'Cannot Allow' Any Iranian Nuclear Enrichment
- US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff stated on Sunday that any nuclear deal with Iran must forbid uranium enrichment entirely and prevent a bomb from being built.
- This stance follows the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the 2015 deal, which limited Iran's enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief, prompting renewed negotiations.
- Iran sharply rejected Witkoff’s position, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi calling it detached from negotiation realities and reaffirming Iran’s commitment to continuing enrichment.
- Witkoff expressed optimism about a new round of talks in Europe this week, while Trump urged Iran to act quickly to avoid negative outcomes, saying, “something bad’s going to happen.”
- The conflicting positions suggest that reaching a deal requires Iran to suspend enrichment and US sanctions relief, with both sides emphasizing urgency amid ongoing diplomatic challenges.
