During his visit to the 36th Tehran International Book Fair, which addressed the forum at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs booth on Thursday, Araguchi strongly emphasized the country’s unwavering stance on the right to enrich uranium in order to enrich uranium.
“To defend the rights of Iranian people in the nuclear field, including (uranium) enrichment, is one of these principles and rights of those who we do not compromise on, not the media or the negotiation table. This is the rights of Iranian people, and no one can deny it.
He reiterated that Tehran is ready to “build trust and provide transparency” in exchange for lifting anti-Iran sanctions.
The Minister has expressed Tehran’s preparations to continue consultations as long as the opposing side is “ready to reach an agreement that recognizes our rights.”
He noted that neither side has yet to reach a framework of understanding. “If we reach a framework of understanding and agreement, other issues will be raised, but we have not yet reached that point.”
Meanwhile, Araguchi rejected a report saying the US had given Iran a written proposal for a nuclear deal during the latest talks between the two countries.
“During the lecture, the ideas were presented on the other side in written form, but I have not received the ideas in written form so far.”
