Iran says right to enrich uranium is a red line in talks with US

Iran has declared its right to enrich uranium as a non-negotiable "red line" in indirect talks with the United States held in Oman. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that while "zero enrichment" is unacceptable, Tehran is open to discussing the level and purity of its enrichment activities to ensure they remain peaceful. Despite the talks, Washington announced new sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's oil exports and continues to have military assets positioned in the Arabian Sea. Amidst the diplomatic efforts, Iran's military has warned it is ready for war, and the virtual US embassy has urged American citizens to leave the country.
