Iranian Official Rejects U.S. Demands, Stalling Nuclear Talks
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh announced that Iran is not ready to engage in new face-to-face talks with the United States due to what he described as 'maximalist' demands from Washington. In an interview at a diplomacy forum in Turkey, Khatibzadeh emphasized that Iran will not hand over its enriched uranium to the U.S., countering claims by President Trump. The U.S. has been firm on its demands, which Iran finds excessive, leading to a stalemate in negotiations. The discussions are part of ongoing efforts to address concerns over Iran's nuclear capabilities, with the U.S. seeking to retrieve enriched uranium believed to be stored in Iran.
