The senior Iranian negotiator in the indirect talks with the US went on to say that Iran will reply to the proposal in accordance with principles, national interests, and the rights of the Iranian people.
Later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff "has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and it's in their best interest to accept it." She declined to provide further details.
Iran renounces 'domination', 'zero enrichment' rhetoric in US talks
The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) has announced that progress has been achieved in the indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States.
Mohammad Eslami, the chairman of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, stated on Saturday that there has been some progress in the continuing indirect talks with the US, while opposing the concept of "zero enrichment", describing such conversations as mere hyperbole intended solely for the Zionist community.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, emphasized that the country’s right to enrich uranium stems from the "mentality and principle of renouncing foreign domination."
Days ago, Araghchi responded to growing media speculation over a possible Iran-US agreement, emphasizing that while diplomacy remains Tehran’s preferred path, any deal must fully meet Iran’s conditions, chief among them the complete removal of sanctions and recognition of its nuclear rights.
Speaking at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum on Saturday, he highlighted that Iran’s foreign policy is grounded in resisting both oppression and domination, as outlined in the first article of the Constitution. This principle, he said, has guided the Islamic Republic since its founding.
He noted that “the statement that you should not carry out enrichment is itself domination. Why shouldn’t we have enrichment? This is absolutely unacceptable to the Iranian nation.”
