Iranian official rules out ending enrichment, discussing missiles - Reuters

Apr 18, 2025, 15:36 GMT+1

Iran will never agree to stop its enrichment, destroy its centrifuges or cap enrichment below levels agreed in a previous 2015 nuclear deal, Reuters reported on Friday citing a senior Iranian official

Tehran would not discuss its missile program with Washington either and all those points were considered unacceptable red lines mandated by Iran's Supreme Leader, Reuters cited the official as saying.

"Iran understood in indirect talks in Oman that Washington doesn’t want Iran to stop all nuclear activities, and this can be a common ground for Iran and the U.S. to start a fair negotiation," Reuters quoted the source as saying.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, according to the source cited by Reuters, told the US delegation in talks in Oman on Saturday that the UN nuclear watchdog was the only body that should verify the peaceful aims of Iran's nuclear program.
