Tehran Says 'Zero Enrichment' Is Off the Table as Israeli Strikes on Nuclear Program Continue Iran indicated that it is not willing to sacrifice its uranium enrichment program, diminishing the likelihood of diplomacy as Israel continues to hammer the country’s nuclear sites and President Donald Trump weighs American military intervention.
Tehran signaled in talks with European countries on Friday that it is "ready to discuss limitations on its uranium enrichment, but said the prospect of zero enrichment would undoubtedly be rejected, especially while Israel was attacking," according to Reuters. The meeting in Geneva between Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi and the E3 nations—Britain, France, and Germany—tested Tehran’s willingness to potentially sit down with the Trump administration before the United States decides to strike the Islamic Republic’s remaining nuclear facilities.
Iran’s negotiating position is a nonstarter for the United States, though, which says Tehran must completely surrender its uranium enrichment program. French president Emmanuel Macron reportedly embraced Trump’s no-enrichment policy in recent days, as have German foreign minister Johann Wadephul and British officials.
