Iran will not examine the temporary suspension of uranium enrichment to secure an agreement on its nuclear nuclear with the US, according to a Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, adding that a date has not been set to hold a six -way round of talks with Washington so far.

Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are aiming to resolve a decades -long dispute over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and both sides have publicly adopted a harsh stance on the issue of Iranian uranium enrichment.

Asked about the information that Iran could freeze the uranium enrichment program for three years to conclude an agreement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Emael Bagai said during a press conference: “Iran will never accept that.”

“This information is a fantasy product and they are completely false,” he commented when asked about this during a press conference.

“We will survive even without negotiations,” Iranian President Pezkian said

Yesterday, President Donald Trump said US negotiators had “very good” talks with an Iranian delegation during the weekend.

However, as Iranian state media reported today, Iran Massoud Pescian, reacting to Trump’s statement, commented that his country would survive even if there are no talks with the US and if more sanctions were imposed.

“We are not going to die of hunger if they refuse to negotiate with us or if they impose sanctions. We will find a way to survive, “he commented on talks on the Iranian nuclear program.

Iran expects more details from the mediator, Oman, about when the next round of talks will take place, Baya said.

“If there is good will on the American side, we are optimistic too, but if the talks aim to limit the rights of Iran then the talks will end up nowhere,” he said, announcing that an International Atomic Energy Agency (IOAE) official is going to visit.

The stakes are large – for both sides

Trump wants to limit Tehran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon that could trigger a regional nuclear war and possibly threaten Israel. For its part, Iran argues that its nuclear program is exclusively political and wants to get rid of the harsh sanctions that cause suffocation in its economy.

Tehran and Washington, hostile countries from the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the pro -Western monarchy in Iran, began on April 12 on the thorny issue of the Iranian nuclear program.

These are the highest -level negotiations between the two sides after unilateral US withdrawal in 2018 by the international agreement on the Iranian nuclear program that had been concluded three years earlier in Vienna.

US President Donald Trump, who had made this decision during his first term in the White House (2017-2021), again imposed heavy US sanctions on Iran in the context of his so-called “maximum pressure” policy in the Islamic Republic.

It is now seeking to negotiate a new agreement with Tehran, which hopes to lift sanctions.

The two countries are returned to the negotiating table as well as both publicly displaying their disagreement on the sensitive issue of uranium enrichment.

The US envoy to the Middle East Steve Whitkov, who leads Washington’s talks, ruled that the US “cannot allow even 1% of uranium enrichment” in Iran.

According to the International Atomic Energy Organization (IOEA), Iran is currently enriched at 60%, which exceeds the 3.67% threshold allowed by the 2015 agreement, but below 90% necessary for military use.

Tehran was removed from the commitments it had in 2015 under the agreement on its nuclear program in retaliation for the US withdrawal from it.
