Iran’s uranium enrichment ‘rooted in national will,’ senior MP says
Uranium enrichment is not just a technical issue but a pillar of Iran’s national sovereignty, the head of parliament’s national security committee said Sunday, warning that Tehran would not yield under foreign pressure.
“Enrichment is a national value and a symbol of independence,” Ebrahim Azizi told the local media.
“It is rooted in the will of the Islamic Republic, and the parliament strongly supports this policy.”
“No negotiation over the principle of enrichment is meaningful,” he said, adding that Iran would not retreat “under pressure, threat or inducement.”
