Iran says nuclear talks will fail if US pushes for zero enrichment
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said nuclear talks with the U.S. could fail if Washington insists on zero uranium enrichment.
- This deadlock stems from U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff demanding Iran halt all uranium enrichment as a non-negotiable red line.
- Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly doubted the talks' success on May 20, calling U.S. demands for full enrichment bans a "big mistake."
- Araghchi emphasized that Iran will persist with uranium enrichment regardless of whether an agreement is reached, while Witkoff insisted that any level of enrichment must be completely prohibited.
- The ongoing impasse over uranium enrichment complicates negotiations and heightens regional tensions, risking further escalation of nuclear proliferation concerns.
