Iranian Foreign Minister said on Sunday that Tehran will soon issue a formal reply to the latest U.S. offer concerning the nuclear negotiations, following comments by U.S. President Donald Trump that rejected any Iranian uranium enrichment.

Why it matters:

As indirect Iran–U.S. talks continue behind closed doors, Araghchi’s announcement signals that Tehran is weighing its options carefully in response to Washington’s position.

 

The big picture:

The statement came after Trump reiterated his opposition to any uranium enrichment by Iran. U.S. media reports suggest Washington is now proposing a tightly restricted deal allowing "limited, low-level enrichment on Iranian soil for a to-be-determined period."

  • Iran has consistently insisted that enrichment is its non-negotiable right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

 

What he’s saying:

“A suitable response to the U.S. proposal will be issued soon,” Araghchi said during a Cabinet meeting chaired by President Masoud Pezeshkian.
