Iran says it will not compromise on enrichment as security chief visits Moscow

Iran will not back down from its position on preserving its nuclear enrichment cycle and peaceful nuclear knowledge, the country’s top security official said during a visit to Moscow, according to Iranian media.

“Iran will not retreat from its principles in maintaining the enrichment cycle and the peaceful use of nuclear knowledge,” said Ali Akbar Ahmadian, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, during talks with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu.

Ahmadian said Tehran remains committed to resolving issues through dialogue but stressed its nuclear policy was non-negotiable.
