Tehran has the legal right to pursue a peaceful nuclear program, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said

Iran will not give up its uranium enrichment capacity even under threat of war, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said. US President Donald Trump has demanded that Iran agree to a “zero enrichment” policy.

Araghchi made the remarks at the National Congress on the Islamic Republic’s foreign policy in Tehran on Sunday, calling enrichment a legal right rooted in sovereignty and national dignity.

“Why have we insisted so strongly on enrichment and continue to do so, and why are we not willing to give it up, even if war is imposed on us? Because no one has the right to tell us what we should have and what we should not have,” he said.
