Why it matters:
Araghchi's remarks highlight ongoing challenges in Iran-U.S. indirect nuclear talks in Oman and the broader consultation for regional issues, particularly Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy.
What he's saying:
Araghchi stated, "If the goal of Washington in the recent nuclear talks with Tehran is to prevent Iran's access to nuclear weapons, this goal is achievable."
Araghchi emphasized the need for consistency in how Western countries address nuclear energy concerns.
He criticized the selective focus on threats from Iran while ignoring the Israeli nuclear capabilities.
The Iranian Foreign Minister asserted that Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy will not be compromised.
The big picture:
Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special representative for the Middle East and the head of the U.S. team for nuclear talks with Iran, announced that Iran's enrichment of uranium is the red line for the U.S.
