Tehran, November 20 (Xinhua) – Iran will not accept any agreement that would lead to zero-level uranium enrichment in the country, as it is considered a "betrayal," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated.
"We will never agree to zero enrichment (of uranium) because this issue has become a matter of national glory and pride," he said in an interview with Iran's online news agency Khabar published on Wednesday, adding that the country had incurred numerous costs and made many sacrifices to maintain its ability to enrich uranium.
Commenting on Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), A. Araghchi said that the country cooperated with the agency only with regard to those Iranian nuclear facilities that were not bombed by Israel and the United States in June.
In recent months, the United States, joined by some European countries, has called on Iran to cease uranium enrichment on its soil. Tehran has repeatedly rejected this demand, emphasizing that its right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable.
Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA in June under a parliamentary law, citing the agency's failure to condemn Israeli and US attacks on its nuclear facilities and concerns about the safety of its facilities and scientists.
