Iran has declared that the ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States have become “much more serious and frank”, but firmly rejected Washington’s demand to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure.
Iran’s Stance on Nuclear Facilities
During the fourth round of nuclear talks in Oman, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that Tehran will not relinquish its peaceful nuclear rights. He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear program is strictly for civilian purposes, including radiopharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, and industry.
US Demands & Iran’s Response
The US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has insisted that Iran must completely dismantle its nuclear facilities, including those at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. However, Iran has rejected this demand, citing its sovereign right to nuclear technology.
Progress in Nuclear Talks
Despite the public standoff over uranium enrichment, both sides have agreed to continue discussions. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi described the negotiations as “forward-moving”, though he acknowledged the growing complexity of the issues.
What’s Next?
The next round of nuclear talks will be coordinated by Oman, with both parties expected to consult their leaderships before proceeding. As diplomatic efforts continue, the world watches closely for a potential breakthrough in the US-Iran nuclear negotiations.
