Iran has reaffirmed its determination to continue uranium enrichment and defend its nuclear rights, ahead of crucial talks with the European troika scheduled for tomorrow.
In a statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that “Tehran’s position remains strong and enrichment will continue,” emphasizing that the Islamic Republic will “defend its nuclear rights, including uranium enrichment,” in the upcoming negotiations with the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
The remarks come amid renewed diplomatic efforts to revive stalled discussions over Iran’s nuclear program, which has remained a key point of tension between Tehran and Western powers.
Reinforcing this stance, Ali Shamkhani, senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated on Thursday that “no country can halt the advancement of Iran’s nuclear program.”
The assertion highlights Tehran’s defiance in the face of international pressure and underscores its intent to move forward with its nuclear agenda.
The European troika has long called for restrictions on Iran’s uranium enrichment activities, which Western governments fear could lead to the development of nuclear weapons. Iran insists its program is strictly peaceful and conducted under the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The upcoming meeting is seen as a test of whether diplomatic channels remain viable amid deepening mistrust and heightened regional tensions.
