Iran’s highest spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Chemenei said on Tuesday that negotiations of Iran and the United States on Tehran nuclear program are likely to not produce any results. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
“We don’t think it will lead to a result. We don’t know what happens,” he said. According to him, the denial of Iran’s rights to enrich uranium is a “big mistake”.
The US insists on conditions
The special envoy of the United States for the Middle East Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that a possible agreement between Iran and the US must include the consent of delaying the enrichment of uranium by Tehran. The West and the US have been accused by Iran for a long time to try to get a nuclear bomb, but Tehran denies.
Iran insists that it will not negotiate on the issue of enrichment of uranium. With the United States, since April 12, he has led four laps of indirect negotiations by the mediated Oman to achieve Washington to achieve a new nuclear agreement with Tehran. The previous one of the previous 2015 US was three years later, and Iran stopped gradually fulfilling its conditions.
The enrichment of uranium continues
According to AFP, both parties agreed at the last meeting of 11 May that they would carry out another round of interviews.
Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent of purity, which significantly exceeds the limit of 3.67 percent set by the 2015 agreement. For nuclear weapon development, uranium is needed to 90 percent.
“If the United States is interested in ensuring that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, the agreement is within reach and we are ready for a serious conversation to achieve a solution that will guarantee this result forever,” said Iranian Foreign Minister on Sunday on Sunday, and the Chief Negotiator Abbas Arakči. He added that Iran will continue to enrich the uranium “with or without agreement”.
Maximum pressure policy
US President Donald Trump has been trying to reach a new agreement with Iran since January’s return to the White House, but he continues to “the maximum pressure policy”. In recent days he has warned that if the Iranians do not quickly approach the agreement, “something bad will happen”.
