Tehran open to limits on enrichment, but rules out 'zero enrichment' - Reuters

Tehran is prepared to discuss limitations on uranium enrichment but will "undoubtedly reject" any proposal for zero enrichment, particularly in light of ongoing Israeli military strikes, Reuters reported.

Citing a senior Iranian official, the report said Iran is awaiting a concrete initiative from the E3 (France, Germany, and the UK) on the nuclear issue and emphasized that the role of European powers is now more crucial, as Tehran is not willing to engage directly with the United States under current circumstances.

“The situation has changed. Europe must step up,” the official added.
