No Way, Joe! USA's Iran Uranium Enrichment Proposal a Non-Starter for Ayatollah Ali Chamenei 🔥
Iran's Leader Chamenei Argues for Indigenous Uranium Enrichment Autonomy, Challenging US Influence - U.S. involvement in Iran's uranium enrichment matters should be negated, according to Khamenei.
Ali Chamenei, Iran's supreme leader, is calling BS on the USA's proposed solution to the ongoing nuclear dispute between the two countries. Speaking at a celebration commemorating the 36th anniversary of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Chamenei said the American plan is a bone-headed move against Iran's national interests.
Chamenei claimed the US proposal contradicts the revolutionary slogan "We can," which originated from the 1979 Islamic Revolution. By mid-April, the two nations were back at the negotiating table, discussing potential new nuclear deals after the first five meetings ended without a deal. Uranium enrichment remains a major sticking point in the ongoing talks.
According to a report by Axios, the latest US proposal permits limited uranium enrichment at low levels. President Trump has previously stated that he wouldn't tolerate any uranium enrichment in a potential nuclear agreement. But Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made it clear that Iran won't accept a deal that forbids uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes. "Enrichment on Iranian soil is a red line for us," Amir-Abdollahian declared.
Chamenei also expressed a generally negative view of the negotiations, stating he didn't expect them to wrap things up. Iran believes it has the right to enrich uranium according to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and views the U.S. proposal as attempting to restrict Iran's enrichment capabilities, effectively trying to keep the Iranian people from moving forward.

Recent quotes from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian regarding the ongoing nuclear dispute with the USA are not available in the provided search results. However, it's known that Iran claims the right to enrichment and has increased the purity of its uranium enrichment to 60%, which approaches weapons-grade levels [2][3].
The U.S., on the other hand, is proposing allowing limited, low-level enrichment on Iranian soil under strict conditions, such as dismantling critical infrastructure for uranium conversion and processing and halting new research on centrifuges [1][4]. The suggested plan also includes the establishment of a regional enrichment consortium for peaceful purposes.
The ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are fraught with differing positions regarding Iran's nuclear activities, with Iran standing firm on its right to enrich uranium and the U.S. aiming for significant limitations on Iran's nuclear activities.
- Iran has made it clear that it will continue to assert its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, as outlined in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
- Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's recent comments on the ongoing nuclear dispute with the USA, as well as those of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, emphasize Iran's determination to uphold its right to enrich uranium and question the restrictive conditions proposed by the USA.
