Tehran students oppose US call for 'zero enrichment' in state-backed rally


A group of students from various Tehran universities held a state-sponsored rally outside the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to express support for the country's nuclear program including its right to enrich uranium, Iran's official news agencies reported on Sunday.
The students aimed to affirm Iran's right to uranium enrichment amid ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States, the reports said.
The students chanted slogans including "Nuclear energy is our absolute right," "Death to America," and "Death to Israel," and carried placards with messages like "Enrichment means our right to build the future."
Videos from the rally show they also held a placard that read "Zero enrichment=we do not want a deal," referring to the US demand that Tehran will not be allowed to enrich uranium at any level.
University students supporting the Islamic Republic held similar gatherings in recent days outside various nuclear sites across the country.
