Iran will make no nuclear concessions, Iranian official says
A senior Iranian official said Iran will show no flexibility over its nuclear program even if the United States accepts its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The official said the waterway would remain closed until all of Iran's conditions are met, and that Iran would give no concessions on enriching uranium or shipping highly enriched uranium out of the country. Tehran has said it would engage in detailed nuclear negotiations only after its conditions are met.
Why it matters: The statement reinforces the nuclear program theme by showing that Iran's enrichment and HEU stockpile remain non-negotiable, complicating any deal to end the conflict.
