Senior Iranian Official: Uranium Enrichment is a Sovereign Right with Proposal for Temporary Freeze

A senior Iranian official told Al Jazeera that the proposal presented by Tehran during the recent negotiations confirms that uranium enrichment represents a sovereign right for Iran, while also indicating that the proposal includes an offer for a temporary freeze on enrichment activities for a limited period.

The official explained that the Iranian proposal aims to create a common ground that can be built upon in the negotiations, without compromising what Tehran considers its fundamental rights to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

These statements come amid ongoing talks aimed at reducing the differences between Tehran and Washington regarding the nature of Iran's nuclear program and the future of enrichment activities.
