Iran, US resume nuclear talks despite key disagreements DW 05/11/2025
Briefly

High-level discussions resumed between Iran and the US over Tehran's nuclear program. Led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff, the talks focused on red lines that must be respected to avoid military action. Witkoff declared zero tolerance for any uranium enrichment, calling for the dismantling of Iran's enrichment facilities. Conversely, Araqchi reiterated Iran's non-negotiable right to enrich uranium for civilian use. A proposed compromise suggested by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio involved Iran purchasing enriched uranium for energy needs. Trump has previously threatened military action if negotiations fail.
Witkoff stated, 'An enrichment program can never exist in the state of Iran ever again,' emphasizing the need to dismantle Iran's enrichment facilities.
Abbas Araqchi mentioned that Iran's right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is 'non-negotiable,' representing a core national achievement.
