Iranian Foreign Ministry: Uranium enrichment is a non-negotiable "red line"
Tehran - Saba:
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran's right to uranium enrichment is a "red line" that cannot be waived in any future negotiations.
Gharibabadi's statement came during a meeting of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee on Sunday evening, where he gave a report on the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States that recently took place in the Italian capital Rome, and answered the MPs' inquiries.
Committee spokesman MP Ebrahim Rezaei quoted Gharibabadi as emphasizing Iran's "seriousness in the negotiations," calling on the other side to show the same seriousness and not succumb to the pressure exerted by the Zionist entity to undermine the talks.
He emphasized that Iran's proposals are based on the leadership's directives , the endorsements of higher institutions, and call for a comprehensive lifting of the embargo in order to bring tangible economic gains to the Iranian people.
According to Rezaei, Gharibabadi stressed that "Iran does not seek to possess nuclear weapons, and that its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful uses only," noting that "uranium enrichment is carried out within this framework."
He also announced that "technical meetings between experts from both sides will be held indirectly in the Omani capital Muscat on Wednesday to discuss the technical details of the negotiations," stressing "the need to remove the legal structure of the embargo, including laws passed by the US Congress and executive orders issued by the White House."

Washington: Closing Strait of "Hormuz" Will Spark Major Economic Crisis
Washington - (Saba): US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged China on Monday to use its influence to persuade Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to the recent US strikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites. In an interview with Fox News, Rubio said that Beijing relies heavily on the Strait of Hormuz to secure its oil supplies, stressing the importance of China's intervention to prevent Tehran from taking a step that could lead to the closure of this vital waterway. Rubio warned that closing the strait would be a "grave mistake" and "economic suicide" for Iran. He emphasized that the United States has multiple options for dealing with this scenario, but stressed that it is not limited to Washington's response alone, but requires a response from other countries that may be more affected. Meanwhile, Ali Akbar Velayati, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, announced that the bases used by US forces to launch attacks on Iranian nuclear sites "will be considered legitimate targets," reflecting an escalation in Iranian rhetoric. China, along with Russia, North Korea, and a number of Arab countries, joined in condemning the US attacks, describing them as escalating tensions in the Middle East. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
