"Guarantee Sanctions Are Lifted" Iran Spells “Clearest Demand” to Trump, Warns "Reckless" Israel
Iran said Monday (June 2) it will not accept a nuclear agreement that deprives it of what it calls "peaceful activities", a reference to uranium enrichment, as it pressed the United States for guarantees it will drop sanctions.Uranium enrichment has remained a key point of contention between the foes, in talks to seal a nuclear deal since April, with Iran defending what it says is its pursuit of a civil nuclear programme but with the US side calling it a "red line".Speaking in Cairo, where he met the UN nuclear watchdog's chief Rafael Grossi, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said: "If the goal is to deprive Iran of its peaceful activities, then certainly no agreement will be reached."Araghchi insisted that Iran has "nothing to hide" on its nuclear programme."Iran has a peaceful nuclear programme... we are prepared to provide this assurance to any party or entity," he said. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:15 “US PROPOSAL CAN IN NO WAY REPLACE ENRICHMENT ON IRANIAN SOIL”5:25 “IRAN DOESN’T KNEEL UNDER THREAT…”7:12 IRAN WARNS ISRAEL OF “DECISIVE REACTION”
