EET Communications News Service, July 7 - U.S. Vice President Vance, in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday (6th), stated that Iran must "meaningfully reduce its uranium enrichment capacity" to meet U.S. demands and end the U.S.-Iran conflict. He also mentioned that the United States is negotiating with Iranian President Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Araghchi.
Vance emphasized that any U.S.-Iran agreement must include Iran reducing its existing uranium enrichment capacity, not merely promising to scale back nuclear capabilities in the future. He said: 'If you don't want nuclear weapons, why do you need 60% enriched fuel? If you want to demonstrate your commitment to being non-nuclear, then don't engage in uranium enrichment; this is a very basic threshold.'
He stated that the U.S. remains willing to reach an agreement, but Iran must make substantial concessions on the nuclear front. (rc)
