Iran is open to compromises on its nuclear program in talks with the United States, but uranium enrichment remains non-negotiable, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said.
"If the intention is to make sure that Iran’s nuclear program would not be weaponized, I think that’s something that we could simply do,” Esmail Baghaei said.
Asked by CNN how a compromise can be reached in talks, the spokesman said, “So many ways” without specifying.
However, he added that Iran’s right to nuclear energy would have to be protected, echoing the long-standing Iranian position on talks.
“If the (U.S.’) intention is to deprive Iranians of their right to peaceful nuclear energy, I think that would be very problematic to the extent that I think it would really challenge the whole process,” Esmail Baghaei said.
