''Iran imelipa gharama kubwa kwenye programu ya amani ya nyuklia na urutubishaji wa uranium.-Abbas Araghchi
- Kwanini tunasisitiza sana kwenye urutubishaji wa uranium na hatuna mpango wa kuachana na programu hii hata kama vita vikiletwa kwetu ?Ni kwasababu hakuna nchi ambayo inaweza kuamuru masuala yetu
''Majeshi ya USA kupelekwa kwenye ukanda wetu haitutishi
Waziri wa mambo ya nje wa Iran ametoa kauli hii mara baada ya kufanya mazungumzo na mwakilishi wa marekani Steve witkoff nchini Oman.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that negotiations with the United States will succeed “only when the rights of the Iranian people are acknowledged and respected.”
Speaking at a diplomatic forum in Tehran organized by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Araghchi said Iran is ready “to answer” and “clarify” any “questions or ambiguities” about the country’s nuclear program through diplomacy.
“Knowledge cannot be eliminated through bombardment; technology cannot be destroyed. Technology exists, knowledge exists, and there is no alternative to negotiation,” he said.
“This is exactly what I told the American team the day before yesterday, and in fact their presence at the negotiating table is precisely for this reason: they tried other approaches,” he added, referring to last year’s US-backed Israeli war on Iran.
Talks between Tehran and Washington resumed in Muscat, Oman, on Friday after weeks of heightened tensions following the US military buildup in Persian Gulf waters near Iran.
Regional countries, led by Turkiye, played a key role in easing tensions and facilitating talks, which had been suspended following the 12-day war in June 2025.
Araghchi affirmed that negotiations will succeed when the rights of the Iranian people are “acknowledged, respected, and when we are able to exercise our rights.”
“We are not asking anyone to recognize our rights; our rights are already established, our rights exist. What we want is respect for our rights,” he told a gathering that included Iranian and foreign diplomats as well as journalists and academics.
He said Iran’s “source of power” is to “stand firm against bullying, domination, and external pressures.”
“They fear our nuclear bomb, while we are not pursuing a nuclear bomb. Our nuclear bomb is the power to say ‘no’ to the great powers. The secret of the Islamic Republic’s strength lies in this very ability to say no to power,” the top Iranian diplomat stated.
He added that “becoming strong” is an imperative for Iran, while emphasizing that “smart diplomacy” is also necessary under the existing conditions.
