US Did Not Demand Zero Enrichment in Nuclear Talks, Says Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi

WASHINGTON/TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Friday that the United States has not demanded “zero uranium enrichment” during the recent nuclear negotiations in Geneva. Contradicting some earlier reports, Araghchi emphasized that the diplomacy focused on ensuring Iran’s nuclear program remains exclusively peaceful. This comes as US President Donald Trump signaled a strict 10-to-15-day deadline for Iran to reach a deal, warning that the US would prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons “one way or the other” if diplomacy fails.

According to Bloomberg, this deadline coincides with an IAEA board meeting on March 2, where Tehran could face further censure. Amidst these escalating tensions, Amnesty International has warned that at least 30 individuals, including children, are at risk of execution in Iran following the January uprising. The organization raised alarms over “grossly unfair trials” and reports of torture used to extract confessions from those detained during the nationwide protests.
