Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has firmly rejected claims that the country would halt uranium enrichment, emphasizing its commitment to what it deems sovereign nuclear rights. This assertion comes as the United States proposes a 20-year moratorium on enrichment, a condition Iran finds excessive. The ongoing negotiations, which took place in Islamabad, have been hindered by disagreements over the duration of enrichment limits and the fate of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium. While the US demands the complete removal of this uranium, Iran has suggested a monitored down-blending process, allowing it to retain its nuclear infrastructure while reducing the material's purity level. Despite the impasse, mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are actively seeking to bridge the gaps between the two nations, with indications that negotiations may still progress. The IRGC's statement reinforces Tehran's stance that its nuclear capabilities will not be dictated by external pressures, highlighting the nuclear issue as a critical factor in the ongoing diplomatic efforts.
