Iran rejects calls to halt uranium enrichment and surrender stockpiles
Mohammed Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, has declared that Iran will not abandon its uranium enrichment program or surrender its existing uranium stockpiles. Eslami emphasized that enrichment is an inseparable part of the nation's nuclear industry and scientific progress.
Addressing recent pressure from the United States, Eslami stated that nuclear negotiations are not currently on the agenda and dismissed Western accusations regarding the nature of Iran's program. He maintained that Iran's activities remain within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and International Atomic Energy Agency regulations, noting that the UN regulator has not reported any deviations.
Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated that Tehran is reviewing a U.S. proposal concerning the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and expects to provide a response within days. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that while the U.S. is engaged in productive talks with Iran, there are no plans to launch an attack against the country before the November midterm elections.
