Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has authorized the Iranian negotiating delegation to agree to a partial freeze on enrichment operations if required by the negotiations, following a fourth round of talks between Iran and the United States regarding the nuclear program.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that the country will not concede its right to enrich uranium, emphasizing that “the enrichment capability is one of the proud achievements of the Iranian nation.”

These discussions are taking place in Oman, aiming to reach an agreement on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.
