Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi pledged that Iran would never commit to ending uranium enrichment, just days before a fresh round of nuclear talks with European countries is set to begin
Speaking to Fox News, Araghchi said that uranium enrichment is currently suspended due to damage sustained during Operation Rising Lion, but emphasized that the pause is only temporary.
“It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously we cannot give up of enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride,” Araghchi said.
“Our enrichment is so dear to us,” he added, according to a clip from the interview posted by Fox News.
