Iran has made it clear that its nuclear program is non-negotiable, even if the situation escalates into open conflict. The warning comes just days after renewed diplomatic engagement between Iranian officials and the United States, highlighting how fragile the current moment remains despite ongoing talks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi delivered the message following a meeting with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in Oman. He emphasized that Iran has endured years of sanctions, pressure, and international scrutiny because of its nuclear activities, which Tehran insists are entirely peaceful. According to Araghchi, uranium enrichment is a sovereign right, and Iran will not abandon it simply because of external threats or coercion.
Araghchi pushed back strongly against accusations that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, arguing that the country’s real strength lies not in possessing an atomic bomb, but in resisting what he described as intimidation by major powers. He stressed that Iran refuses to allow any foreign government to dictate its policies, even in the face of military pressure or the risk of war.

These remarks come amid a significant U.S. naval buildup in the Persian Gulf, including aircraft carriers positioned within striking distance of Iran. While Washington has framed the deployment as a deterrent, Iranian officials have downplayed its impact, stating that military posturing does not influence Tehran’s strategic decisions.
The United States, under President Donald Trump, has repeatedly warned Iran to return to negotiations and accept a new nuclear agreement. Trump has pointed to America’s military capabilities and referenced past operations, cautioning that any future confrontation would be far more severe. Despite this, Iran has continued enriching uranium to 60% purity—a level unprecedented for a country that claims not to pursue nuclear weapons, though still short of weapons-grade material.
Following the Oman discussions, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that diplomacy remains Iran’s preferred path, but only if it is conducted with mutual respect. He made clear that while Iran is open to dialogue, it will not respond positively to threats or force, underscoring the deep mistrust that continues to define U.S.–Iran relations.
