In his discussions, Araqchi emphasized that Iran’s right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable, responding to U.S. demands for full denuclearization and threats of military action should talks fail. Russia, a key player in these negotiations as a U.N. Security Council member and signatory of the previous nuclear agreement, has maintained strong ties with Iran through strategic agreements and cooperation in Syria and Ukraine.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also expressed its intent to be involved in the negotiations, emphasizing the need for verification to ensure any agreement’s validity. Reuters
