Senior Iranian Official Says Tehran Open to Talks on Limiting Uranium Enrichment


A senior Iranian official has signaled that Tehran is โ€œprepared to discuss limitsโ€ on uranium enrichment, though it firmly rejects any demand for total cessationโ€”a โ€œzero enrichmentโ€ policy is not on the table.

This shift follows weeks of intensifying conflict. Israel has launched airstrikes at Iranโ€™s nuclear and military facilities.

It can be recalled that President Donald Trump has proposed zero uranium enrichment to Iran through United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, according to Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.

Middle East Eye reported:

A senior Iranian official has told Reuters that Tehran is prepared to discuss limits on its uranium enrichment programme, but made clear that demands for โ€œzero enrichmentโ€ are off the table.

โ€œSuch a demand would be undoubtedly rejected, especially now, under Israelโ€™s attacks,โ€ the official said on Friday.

While Iran currently refuses to engage directly with the United States, the official stressed that it sees a growing role for European powers โ€“ particularly the E3 group of Britain, France, and Germany.

โ€œWe need to hear the E3โ€™s initiative on the nuclear issue,โ€ the official added, suggesting that any progress will depend on Europeโ€™s diplomatic approach amid rising regional tensions.

European foreign ministersโ€”representing the UK, France, Germany, and the EUโ€™s foreign policy chiefโ€”have reconvened in Geneva with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, pressing for renewed nuclear diplomacy.

According to the Wall Street Journal, just hours before a critical diplomatic meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, top European leaders have aligned with the United States in calling on Tehran to fully end its uranium enrichment program.

French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the urgency of renewed negotiations, saying, โ€œIt is absolutely essential to prioritize a return to substantive negotiations, which include nuclear issues to move toward zero enrichment, ballistics to limit Iranian activities and capabilities, and the financing of all the terrorist groups destabilizing the region.โ€

The news outlet added that German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul echoed the call, reinforcing Berlinโ€™s demand for zero enrichment as a baseline for any renewed agreement. British officials, while more reserved, have also recently expressed support for eliminating Iranโ€™s enrichment activities.
