Iran denies receiving US proposal, says enrichment rights are non-negotiable

Iran has not received any written proposal from the United States, either directly or indirectly, and will not abandon its right to enrich uranium under any scenario, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday in a statement on X.

“The messaging we—and the world—continue to receive is confusing and contradictory,” Araghchi wrote. “Iran nonetheless remains determined and straightforward: Respect our rights and terminate your sanctions, and we have a deal.”

“Mark my words: there is no scenario in which Iran abandons its hard-earned right to enrichment for peaceful purposes,” he added.
