In a significant statement, Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran, disclosed that the country does not have physical control over its uranium enriched to 60%, which is stored in bombed facilities. He emphasized Iran's readiness to negotiate all aspects of its nuclear program, but criticized the United States for refusing to engage in genuine discussions and instead imposing its own terms. The US has demanded that Iran transfer its enriched uranium to them and suspend enrichment activities for 20 years, both of which Iran firmly rejects, stating it cannot deprive its nation. Gharibabadi also mentioned that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, exacerbated by US-Israeli strikes, has broader economic repercussions, despite a current ceasefire. Furthermore, he highlighted Iran's cooperation with India, allowing the passage of 11 vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, while proposing that the US lift its blockade in exchange for opening the strait and returning frozen Iranian assets.
