Iranian lawmaker says US has no choice but to accept uranium enrichment

A senior Iranian lawmaker has said that the United States has no alternative but to accept uranium enrichment on Iranian soil.

“America knows well that it has no option but to accept enrichment in Iran,” said Mohammad Mehdi Shahriari, a member of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee.

Shahriari also emphasized the importance of continued diplomatic engagement. “We should not leave the negotiating table, because Iran’s presence in talks demonstrates that the Islamic Republic is seeking a solution.”
