Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that his country insists on its right to enrich uranium, even if it leads to war.
„Why do we insist and continue to insist on uranium enrichment and are not ready to give it up even if war is imposed on us? Because no one has the right to dictate to us what we should do“, Araghchi was quoted as saying on his official Telegram channel.
At the same time, the minister stressed that Iran emphasizes diplomacy and negotiations. „If they choose diplomacy, we will follow the same path. If they speak with respect to the Iranian people, we will respond with respect, but if they speak with the language of force, we will respond with force“, Araghchi said.
