Iranian Foreign Minister said on Sunday that enrichment will continue regardless of whether a nuclear deal is reached with the United States.
Foreign Secretary Abbas Araghchi talked about the negotiations between Iran and the United States in his article on Iran's "Peace Nuclear Plan".
Araghchi pointed out in a statement that the disadvantage of U.S. officials to the discussion are free to illustrate their desire to block special interest groups or malicious actors to determine the agenda of the previous government.
"Iran can only control what our Iranians do, that is to avoid negotiations in public - especially given what the current U.S. interlocutors say between public and private and private, from one week to another," Aragic said. "Our position on Iran's rights as a member of the (NPT) is clear, and there is no scenario that Iranians allow deviations from this.
Trump says we have proposed a nuclear deal
"Mastering rich technology is a difficult and native scientific achievement; the result of great sacrifice of blood and treasure." "If the United States is interested in ensuring that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, then an agreement can be reached and we are ready to have serious dialogue to achieve solutions that will ensure the results forever. But, in Iran, with or without a deal."
The statement comes just after President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the United States has proposed a nuclear deal to Iran.
Trump said in an announcement that Iranian officials knew they had to act quickly or “bad things will happen.”

Since Trump took office to resolve Tehran's nuclear program, U.S. and Iranian officials have held four rounds of talks primarily in Oman.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, commonly known as the United Nations' nuclear regulator, noted in a March report that Iran's reserves increased from 182 kg to 275 kg in early 2025, and about 401 pounds to 606 pounds.
"Once you reach 60, you're going to reach 90 percent of the way. Essentially, you're a threshold nuclear weapon state, which is basically Iran," Rubio said on "Hannity" Thursday.

"They are at the threshold of nuclear weapons. If they decide to do this, they can do it very quickly. If they store enough 60% of people, they can quickly turn it into 90 and weaponize it. That's the danger we are facing now. That's the urgency here."
The president said Thursday in the United Arab Emirates that the United States and Iran "a little bit" agreed to reach an agreement on a nuclear deal.

"Iran has agreed to these terms. They won't do it - I call it nuclear dust in a friendly way." "We won't make any nuclear dust in Iran."
