Iran has reaffirmed it will not abandon uranium enrichment, despite pressure from US President Donald Trump for Tehran to adopt a “zero enrichment” policy.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said enrichment is a sovereign and legal right tied to the country’s national interests, stating, “No one has the right to tell us what we should have and what we should not have,” and adding Iran would not give up the capability “even if war is imposed on us.”
Speaking at a foreign policy congress in Tehran, Araghchi said Iran remains open to addressing concerns about its nuclear programme through diplomacy. “If there are any questions or ambiguities regarding the peaceful objectives of Iran’s nuclear programme, we will respond and remove ambiguities, and the only way is through diplomacy,” he said.
He also claimed previous US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities failed to achieve strategic goals, saying, “Knowledge cannot be bombed away. Bombing can destroy buildings, but technology cannot be destroyed.”
The comments follow recent nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Oman, which Araghchi previously described as a “good beginning” focused solely on nuclear issues, while US officials have signalled interest in also addressing Iran’s ballistic missile programme and regional activities.
The Trump administration has repeatedly warned that military action remains an option if diplomatic efforts fail, while the US has increased naval and air deployments in the region. Iran has said it will not concede to external pressure amid the ongoing tensions.

The question is: why not let Iran have nukes? They would adopt the same policy of nuclear deterrence as other powers, like their neighbours Pakistan and India.
And Israel.
But Israel is not finished with Iran yet. A nuclear Iran would hinder Israel’s plans to annex vast lands in the Middle East to create Greater Israel, one of the Zionists’ delusions.
It looks like judaic prophesy is increasingly resisted by the goyim.
Dumb yanks and the collective western world don’t understand knowledge. They only understand bombs and their imperialism they want to impose on us. What a contrast against Proverbs 9:10
Enrichment might be a slight complication with unexploded bombs around.

Islamic republic of Iran is a blood thirsty bunch of barbarians that had no compunction in slaughtering 40 000 or their own unarmed countrymen and women. They are also directly responsible for training and supporting 99 % of Islamic Terrorism that takes place on this planet .Yet above here are mindless / Godless / anti semitic barbarians who support these 7th century cowards who hide behind civilians in Gaza or murder and slaughter in the streets of Tehran.
This is a sickening side of humanity on display right here.
Yes so much worse than the genocidal warmongering state of Israel that murders people all over the Middle East and beyond. Hey chuckles remind me who the ICC are after again? Its not Benny and his mates, is it?
Oh dear Benny and Donny wont like that but what to do? The bombs came thick and fast last time, heck they even bombed a US military base! Oooh what might happen this time if we are naughty? The Iranian’s went easy on us not even using their best missiles the first time around either.
