Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran is pursuing a practical proposal to guarantee the absence of nuclear weapons while safeguarding its peaceful nuclear rights.<\/p>\n
Tehran – IranView24<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with RT on Tuesday, Araghchi said Iran is prepared to offer guarantees that it will not pursue nuclear weapons, and at the same time, the other side needs to guarantee Iran\u2019s right to peaceful nuclear technology for electricity generation, medicine production, agriculture, and other uses.<\/p>\n Such assurances\u00a0are \u201cdoable and achievable\u201d\u00a0if there is goodwill on both sides, he said.<\/p>\n He said Iran is fully committed to a diplomatic settlement with the US while simultaneously bracing for the possibility of a renewed war.<\/p>\n The foreign minister argued that\u00a0\u201cthere is no solution but a diplomatic solution\u201d\u00a0to the nuclear issue, asserting that technology and progress cannot be destroyed through bombings and military threats.<\/p>\n \u201cWe still do not have full trust in Americans,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were in the middle of negotiations last June when they decided to attack us. That was a very bad experience for us.\u201d<\/p>\n He was referring to a 12-day Israeli-US war of aggression against Iran last year, during which Iran forced Israel to ask for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n Araghchi noted that Iran\u2019s uranium enrichment program is strictly peaceful and rooted in the country\u2019s sovereign rights.<\/p>\n Enrichment levels, he went on, depend on civilian needs, and power reactors require enrichment below 5%, while the Tehran Research Reactor uses 20% enriched fuel to produce medical isotopes for cancer treatment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe figures are not important\u2026 What matters is the peaceful nature of enrichment,\u201d\u00a0Araghchi added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran is pursuing a practical proposal to guarantee the absence of nuclear weapons while safeguarding its peaceful nuclear rights.
