Media: Khamenei approves a "partial freeze" on uranium enrichment
5/13/2025
Sources revealed that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has given the green light to the Iranian negotiating delegation with the United States to agree to a partial freeze on uranium enrichment, if the negotiations so require.
This information, reported by Sky News, came after a fourth round of talks between Iran and the United States regarding the nuclear program .
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated on Sunday that his country would not give up its right to enrich uranium .
He stated that "enrichment capacity is one of the prides and achievements of the Iranian nation, and it is non-negotiable ."
Washington and Tehran held a fourth round of talks in Oman on Sunday, aiming to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions .
US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff previously hinted at US flexibility regarding Iran's continued enrichment of uranium to levels intended exclusively for peaceful civilian uses .
But Witkoff stressed, in a media interview on Friday, that uranium enrichment is a "red line" for the United States .
Western countries, including the United States, have long accused Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a claim denied by Tehran, which asserts its right to nuclear technology and that its program is exclusively peaceful .
Asked Wednesday whether Iran would retain the ability to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, Trump said the issue remains open.
