In an exclusive interview with China Media Group, a senior Iranian official speaking on condition of anonymity delivered a clear message: the US must acknowledge Tehran's genuine commitment to dialogue and peaceful dispute resolution.
The official criticized the US for its contradictory stance—demanding a complete shutdown of Iran's nuclear industry while not offering tangible proposals for sanctions relief. He emphasized that uranium enrichment is more than a technical process; it symbolizes national independence and pride, much like the vibrant cultural spirit found across South and Southeast Asia. 😊
He stressed, "Defending our right to enrichment is defending our national sovereignty," pointing out that insisting on halting enrichment is a tactic designed to stall negotiations rather than move toward a real breakthrough.
This call for a flexible, constructive approach in talks resonates with tech-savvy and globally aware young professionals, reminding us that progressive change often comes from open dialogue rather than rigid demands. 🚀
Meanwhile, growing doubts among observers suggest that Washington's push for talks might be part of a broader psychological strategy rather than a genuine effort to resolve disputes. Until the US offers a clear and practical draft for sanctions relief, the path to meaningful negotiation remains uncertain.
