ROME: Iran firmly rejected calls to temporarily halt uranium enrichment as part of efforts to revive a nuclear deal with the US, signaling a hardline stance that could stall progress in long-running negotiations.
A foreign ministry spokesperson declared that Iran will โnever acceptโ freezing enrichment for three years, dismissing any talk of a temporary or interim agreement with Washington as off the table.
Tense Talks and High Stakes
Despite President Trumpโs claim of โvery goodโ weekend talks, Iran waits on mediator Oman for the next round of negotiations.
Tehran emphasized that if the US aims to curb Iranโs rights, the talks will fail, underscoring the delicate balance between diplomacy and deterrence.
A Clash of Visions
The US seeks to block Iranโs nuclear weapon potential, aiming to prevent regional escalation.
Meanwhile, Iran insists its program is peaceful and demands sanctions relief to rescue its struggling oil economy.
