Iran’s right to enrich uranium is not negotiable, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said yesterday ahead of a second round of talks set to take place in Rome this weekend with the US.
The talks, which began in Oman on Saturday with the Gulf state acting as mediator, are the first between the two adversaries under US President Donald Trump, who has threatened military action if there is no deal.
Araqchi was responding to a comment made on Tuesday by top US negotiator Steve Witkoff, who said the Islamic Republic must “stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment” to reach a deal with Washington.
