Iran Rejects US Demand to End Uranium Enrichment. Iran warns nuclear negotiations with the US are doomed if Washington demands a complete halt to uranium enrichment. Deputy Foreign Minister Ravanchi calls enrichment a “national achievement” and says Iran won’t back down from its right to pursue it. The two nations wrapped their fourth round of negotiations in Muscat, Oman, earlier this month, aiming to ease sanctions in exchange for nuclear concessions. American envoy Steve Witkoff stated the US cannot allow “even 1%” enrichment and has presented a proposal to Iran he claims is respectful. While uranium enrichment can serve peaceful purposes, the US argues it enables weaponization and is unacceptable. Iranian officials accuse the US of constantly shifting its stance, creating distrust and instability in the negotiation process. Iran insists its enrichment program complies with the UN’s Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is similar to what other nations are allowed. Iranian President Pezeshkian rejects US threats and warns his nation won’t give up its legal rights despite pressure from Trump. During a Middle East tour, Trump warned Iran to move quickly on talks or face consequences—though he hasn’t clearly opposed low-level enrichment. Ayatollah Khamenei calls Trump’s statements a “disgrace” and unworthy of a response, criticizing contradictory messages from Washington. While Trump says the US made a formal offer, Iran denies receiving any written proposals, either directly or through intermediaries. Iran describes the recent talks as “difficult,” while a US official told CNN they were “encouraging” and lasted over three hours.
