In a recent statement, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi emphasized that there is no situation where Iran would relinquish its hard-earned right to enrichment for peaceful purposes. This assertion highlights Iran’s commitment to its nuclear rights amidst ongoing international negotiations.

“Iran has not received any written proposal from the United States, whether directly or indirectly,” Araqchi wrote on his X account on Friday.
He further expressed that the ongoing communication from the U.S. has been:
“In the meantime, the messaging we—and the world—continue to receive is confusing and contradictory. Iran nonetheless remains determined and straightforward: Respect our rights and terminate your sanctions, and we have a deal,”
Araqchi reiterated:
“Mark my words: there is no scenario in which Iran abandons its hard-earned right to enrichment for peaceful purposes: a right afforded to all other NPT signatories, too,”
Highlighting Iran’s resilience, he remarked:
Araqchi pointed out that the Great Iranian Nation has shown its Power and Fortitude in the face of those who have attempted imposition.
He concluded with a strong message regarding Iran’s approach to diplomacy:
“We always welcome dialogue based on mutual respect and always reject any diktat,” he concluded.
In summary, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi firmly asserts that the country will not compromise its rights to nuclear enrichment while calling for respectful dialogue and the lifting of sanctions. This statement underscores the complex dynamics of international relations concerning nuclear agreements.
