Iran Rejects U.S. Ultimatum On Uranium Enrichment

After five rounds of negotiations, key issues could not be resolved.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday said Tehran would not give up uranium enrichment and called contrary to the Islamic Republic's interests a key condition put forward by Washington to resolve the long-running dispute over Tehran's nuclear program, The Moscow Times writes.

Oman, which is mediating the Iran-U.S. talks, handed over the U.S. proposal on Saturday.

After five rounds of talks, several thorny issues have not been resolved, including Tehran's desire to continue enriching uranium on its soil and its refusal to export abroad its entire existing stockpile of highly enriched uranium that could be used to make nuclear weapons.

"Uranium enrichment is a key element of our nuclear program, and it is enrichment that our enemies are focusing on," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a televised address. - The rude and arrogant leaders of the United States are constantly demanding that we have no nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran should pursue enrichment?"
