Lawmaker warns US against pressing Iran on enrichment

A member of Iran’s parliament warned the US not to challenge Tehran’s nuclear program, calling them red lines that are non-negotiable.

“Americans know that enrichment and preserving the Islamic Republic’s defensive power are not up for discussion,” said Manouchehr Mottaki.

“By crossing these forbidden lines, they harm themselves and do us a favor.”

Speaking in parliament on Sunday, Mottaki also said that the resistance axis would soon bring down US-made F-35s as part of its evolving air defense strategy.
