US “Ideas” on Iran’s Nuclear Work are at Odds With Tehran’s Demands, Senior Iranian Official Tells Reuters

(Reuters) – Washington’s “requests and ideas” about Iran’s nuclear programme are at odds with Tehran’s demands, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday when asked about US Vice President JD Vance’s comment that Tehran must cut enrichment to end the war with Washington.

“Vance’s comments are Washington’s ideas and requests (…) Americans are free to make requests and have ideas, but they are at odds with Iran’s demands,” the senior Iranian official, who is directly involved in indirect negotiations with the United States, said.

The official added that no negotiations had taken place with the US about Iran’s nuclear programme and that Washington must first meet Tehran’s conditions before nuclear talks can start.

The official said US recognition of Iran’s right to nuclear enrichment is Tehran’s red line, which “it will not show flexibility on in any way. However, he added that details of enrichment can be discussed later. ”
