Araghchi: Iran Will Not Give Up Its Right To Enrich Nuclear Energy

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed his country readiness to build trust with Washington regarding the continuation of the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.

In his remarks, Araghchi stated that “Iran will not give up its right to enrich nuclear energy, including uranium enrichment,” affirming his country’s logical stance on the necessity of enjoying its legal rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency.

The Foreign Minister regarded the contradictory statements and conflicting remarks made by American officials as complicating the negotiation process and increasing uncertainty about the US’s seriousness and readiness to comply with the requirements of a diplomatic process.

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump stated that Iran does not need a civilian nuclear energy program because it possesses some of the richest natural resources in the world.
