Iran is willing to make nuclear concessions in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions
The Deputy Foreign Minister expressed in Iran Majid Takht Ravanchi expressed his country’s readiness to make concessions regarding its stock of Highly enriched uranium in exchange for raising US sanctions.
The Iranian official’s statements came after the resumption of Nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington in Muscat on February 6.
Majid Takht Ravanchi, who was part of the Iranian delegation in the Sultanate of Oman, confirmed that the round of talks will be held on Tuesday.
He indicated in an interview with "BBC"that Iran is ready to make concessions to reach an agreement if the United States agrees to lift sanctions, recalling Tehran’s offer to dilute highly enriched uranium.
He said: "If the United States is honest, I am sure we will be on the right track toward reaching an agreement"
400 kilograms of uranium
When the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister was asked about the possibility of Tehran agreeing to ship its stockpile of more than 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium outside the country, the Iranian official did not close the door to reaching an understanding, declaring that "It is too early to say what will happen during the negotiations"
Several countries, including Russia, have offered to receive Iran’s stock, which has so far opposed this proposal.
Great uncertainty hangs over the fate of more than 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium that Iran possesses, which was last seen during an inspection conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency on June 10, before the Israeli and American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
At that time, Iran was enriching uranium by 60%, according to the IAEA. Atomic energy, which far exceeds the limit of 3.67% contained in the 2015 nuclear agreement, which has expired.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly called on Tehran to completely abandon enrichment.
But Majid Takht Ravanchi stressed that "The issue of zero enrichment is no longer relevant, and for Iran it is no longer on the agenda".
