TEHRAN, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — Iran is ready to accept some restrictions on its nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions, but considers the issue of completely halting uranium enrichment "non-negotiable," Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi said recently.
“Iran can show flexibility regarding enrichment capacities and limits, but under no circumstances will it agree to stop it, since it is of vital importance to us, and we must rely on ourselves, not on empty promises,” M. Takht-Ravanchi said in an interview with the Japanese news agency Kyodo Tsushin on Saturday.
Asked about the possibility of resuming Iranian-American talks on the nuclear program, he said: “Iran is ready to negotiate with the United States, but Washington should first clarify whether it is interested in a win-win dialogue or in imposing its will.”
On June 13, two days before the start of the sixth round of proxy talks on Iran's nuclear program with the United States, Israel launched massive airstrikes on several Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior military officials, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Iran responded with several waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel.
On June 22, the US military bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. Iran responded by striking the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
On June 24, after a 12-day war, a ceasefire was reached between Iran and Israel.
In recent days, Washington has repeatedly demanded that Iran completely stop enriching uranium, but Tehran has categorically rejected this demand. –0–
