Iran says to keep enriching uranium, even with a deal

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the country will continue enriching uranium “with or without a deal,” while expressing readiness for serious negotiations with the US to ensure Iran does not develop nuclear weapons. Currently enriching uranium to 60%, well above the 2015 deal’s limit, Iran maintains its nuclear ambitions are solely for peaceful purposes and insists on its right to enrichment. Amid ongoing discussions with European powers regarding potential sanctions, Araghchi emphasized the need for Europe to play a more significant role in the US-Iran nuclear talks.
