Iranian Foreign Minister: We will not give up the Iranian people's right to enrich uranium and the nuclear program.

Ali Shamkhani,a top advisor to Iranian Supreme-Leader Ali Khamenei, told NBC News tonight that Iran is ready to sign a nuclear deal with the United States. In the agreement suggested by Shamkhani, Iran would commit to never making nuclear weapons, get rid of its stockpiles of highly-enriched uranium, agree to only enrich uranium to the lower levels needed for civil energy, and allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to supervise the process, in exchange for an immediate lifting of all economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. on Iran

The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the latest nuclear talks between the Islamic Republic and the United States. “Let me say that, compared to the previous round, the negotiations were much more serious and faster. We’ve moved away from generalities and entered into detailed discussions. Well, under these conditions, the negotiations naturally become more difficult. But I want to say that despite the difficulty and the directness of the talks, very useful discussions were held, and we can now say that both sides have a better understanding of each other’s positions. A significant portion of the main disputed topics has now been more thoroughly discussed, their dimensions have been opened up more, and there’s now a better understanding.
