Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on the 16th (local time) that uranium is not being enriched anywhere in Iran.
According to the Associated Press, the Minister answered a question about uranium enrichment in Tehran that day, saying, "The reason enrichment is currently halted is because our enrichment facilities were attacked."
He said, "There are no undeclared nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran," and claimed, "All facilities are under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)'s safeguards and monitoring."
He added, "Iran's right to use peaceful nuclear technology, including (uranium) enrichment, is undeniable," and "We hope the international community, including the United States, will recognize this, and we will never give up our rights."
The Minister also said in Tehran that day at a conference hosted by the Institute for Political and International Studies under the Foreign Ministry, under the theme "International law under attack: aggression and self-defense," that "the United States is not ready for an equal and fair nuclear negotiation."
He said, "Iran is always ready to engage in diplomacy, but not for negotiations aimed at unilateral dictates," and "The United States should not expect to gain through negotiations what it did not gain through war."
The United States and Iran held five rounds of indirect talks through June, but two days before the sixth meeting, Israel bombed Iran, halting the negotiations. Since then, the United States has been pressuring Iran to resume talks. U.S. President Donald Trump on the 13th of last month expressed a willingness to talk, saying to Iran, "The hand of friendship and cooperation is always open," while also demanding that it abandon uranium enrichment.
