Iran Is Open to U.S. Talks but Insists on Nuclear Enrichment, Senior Diplomat Says -- WSJ

By Laurence Norman

One of Iran's top diplomats said Tehran is open to talks with the U.S. but won't relinquish its domestic uranium enrichment, setting out a core demand ahead of potential negotiations.

"Negotiations can only lead to a proper outcome when our adversaries recognize our nation's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy," Iran's ambassador to India, Mohammad Fatali, said Saturday in a post on X.

Iran has "always supported the path of diplomacy," Fatali said, citing an article he wrote in local media.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Iran signed, grants signatories the right to pursue peaceful nuclear energy. Tehran says that principle allows it to enrich uranium domestically. Uranium can be used for both civilian power generation and nuclear weapons.

Iran has enriched uranium well beyond levels typically associated with civilian use. The Trump administration has pressed Iran to abandon its enrichment program-and last year, it struck two enrichment sites.

Washington is now seeking a 20-year suspension of Iran's enrichment program, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
