Araghchi says US nuclear deal proposal contains many ambiguities

Iran's foreign minister said on Tuesday Iran has received a US nuclear deal proposal that contains many ambiguities.

Speaking in Beirut after unveiling his "Power of Negotiation" book, Abbas Araghchi said a response will be given in the coming days in line with Iran’s interests.

“Preventing us from enriching uranium in Iran is a red line — and this is a reality recognized by all countries," he said. "We won't ask for anyone's permission for continued enrichment."

Araghchi said it is perfectly clear that negotiations under the current circumstances are not from an equal position and resemble a negotiation of surrender.

He also dismissed the US threats to use the military option against Iran, saying, “If the United States was truly capable of bombing our nuclear facilities, it wouldn’t have seen a need to enter negotiations."
