Iran's Foreign Minister said Sunday that, regardless of whether a nuclear agreement with the US is reached. The enrichment will continue.
Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, addressed negotiations between Iran and the United States in an X position with respect to the “Pacific Nuclear Program” of Iran.
In the statement, Araghchi said that American officials aware of discussions are free to declare what they want to avoid special interest groups or malignant actors that establish the agendas of the previous administrations.
“Iran can only control what the Iranians do, and that is to avoid negotiating in public, particularly given the current dissonance that we are seeing between what our US interlocutors say in public and privately, and from one week to the other,” said Araghchi. “Our position on Iran's rights as a [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty] The member is clear, and there is no scenario in which the Iranians allow the deviation of that.
Trump says that USA has given an Iran proposal for the nuclear agreement.
“Mastering enrichment technology is a scientific achievement of its own harvest and its own harvest; the result of a great sacrifice of blood and treasure,” he continued. “If the United States is interested in guaranteeing that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, an agreement is available and we are ready for a serious conversation to achieve a solution that forever guarantees that result. However, enrichment in Iran will continue with or without an agreement.”
The statement comes a few days after President Donald Trump announced Friday that the United States had given Iran a proposal for a nuclear agreement.
While making the announcement, Trump said Iranian officials know they have to move quickly or “something bad will happen.”
Marco Rubio warns Iran 'in the threshold' of the capacity of nuclear weapons as the US conversations continue.

United States officials and Iran have held four rounds of conversations, mainly in Oman, since Trump assumed the position to go to the Tehran nuclear program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, often known as the United Nations Nuclear Control Agency, pointed out in a March report that the existence of Uranium Iran enriched with 60% had alarmingly grown from 182 kg to 275 kg, approximately 401 pounds to 606 pounds, in early 2025.
“Once you are at age 60, you are 90% of the way there. You are, in essence, a threshold state of nuclear weapons, in what is basically Iran,” Rubio said Thursday about “Hannity.”

“They are on the threshold of a nuclear weapon. If they decided to do it, they could do it very fast. If they accumulate enough of that enriched, they could quickly turn it into 90 and arm themselves. That is the danger we face at this time. That is the urgency here,” he said.
The president also said Thursday in the United Arab Emirates that the United States and Iran have agreed “a little” in accordance with a nuclear agreement.

“Iran has agreed the terms. They will not do, I call it, in a friendly way, nuclear dust,” Trump told journalists. “We are not going to do any nuclear dust in Iran.”
