(a year ago)Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Majid Tahtravanchi, said nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States of America “will not lead anywhere” if Washington insists that Tehran reduce its uranium enrichment to zero, Iranian state media reported today. Our position for enrichment is clear and [...]
Our position on enrichment (the uranium) is clear and we have repeatedly stated that it is a national achievement from which we will not give up”, Tahtravanchi said, Reuters reported.
Iranian President Masud Peskiyaan said yesterday Iran would continue negotiations with the US on its nuclear programme, but that it would not give up its rights due to Washington's threats.
Negotiations between the US and Iran, in which several meetings have been held so far in Muscat and Rome, have reached the level of <x0-seconds-experts”, which means that the parties are trying to reach an agreement on the details of a possible deal.
The US special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Whitoff, reiterated yesterday Washington's stance that any new agreement between the US and Iran should include an agreement not to enrich uranium, which is a possible route towards developing nuclear bombs. /Periscope/
