Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs: There is room for dialogue regarding the extent and type of uranium enrichment.

On the 15th, local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Bahram Qasemi stated at a press conference that Iran’s legitimate rights under international law are non-negotiable. Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy utilization is not granted by any party and cannot be stripped away under pressure or wartime conditions. This right stems from Iran’s status as a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT); so long as Iran remains a party to the treaty, it is entitled to benefit from it. Qasemi added that there remains room for dialogue regarding the extent and type of uranium enrichment activities. However, Iran emphasized that it must be able to continue its uranium enrichment activities in accordance with its own needs. (CCTV News)
