Abbas Araghchi: “Why We Insist on Uranium Enrichment”

“Why have we insisted, and continue to insist, on uranium enrichment? Why won’t we surrender it, even under the threat of war? Because no one has the right to dictate what we may or may not possess. This is rooted in a fundamental principle: the rejection of domination.

Enrichment is our right under international law, and whether we choose to exercise it is our business alone. For years we’ve been told, ‘You have no right to enrich; enrichment must be zero.’ Why? ‘Because we’re concerned,’ they say. If you’re concerned, we’re prepared to address that. Have questions? We’ll answer them. Is trust lacking? We’ll build it. But no one has the right to say, ‘You cannot have this because we don’t want you to.’

This is the heart of our resolve: we have stood firm in defense of our own rights. Enrichment matters, but what matters even more is demonstrating that the Islamic Republic of Iran takes orders from no one and submits to no domination.

If there are doubts about the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program, we are ready to answer them. The only path forward is diplomacy. Every other path has been tried and has led nowhere. Negotiations will only succeed when the rights of the Iranian people are recognized and respected, not granted, because our rights are already legitimate in and of themselves. What we ask is simply that they be respected.”

In my view, Araghchi’s statement is more than a dignified reply to the United States. It is a rebuke of the condescending posture the West has held toward Muslims for nearly a century. It is a declaration that the era of bullying and imposed values is over. If Iran emerges from this with its honor intact, God willing, neither the United States nor the Muslim world will be what they once were.

BREAKING:

After receiving assassination threats from Israel and the United States, the Iranian Foreign Minister stated:

'Your threats are beneath our feet. If we feared death, we would not have entered this war, nor would we have sacrificed our finest men for our homeland. Death is an honor for us in defending our land...

We were born free, and we will die free.

🇺🇸 $2.4 trillion wiped. In two weeks. That’s not a market correction but a war tax on every American with a pension, a savings account, or a 401k. Nobody voted for it. As always no one was asked.

Global stocks have lost $6 trillion as stagflation fears sweep markets  — oil above $100, no exit strategy, and Wall Street’s “this will be over soon” composure cracking in real time. The S&P 500 just logged its first three-week losing streak in a year, sitting 5% below its recent high.  The people telling you this is temporary are the same people who said Iran would capitulate before closing Hormuz.

Here’s the part that should terrify you. The Fed is paralyzed with inflation from the oil shock means they can’t cut rates, but the economy desperately needs them to.  That���s the 1973 playbook. Last time that happened the S&P fell 40% and stayed there for a decade. GDP was already limping at 0.7% before the first bomb dropped.  Trump went to war on a slowing economy and called the consequences someone else’s problem.
“A small price to pay.” His net worth went up this month. How about yours?

The Omanis are famously cautious. The Omani FM going on CBS to reveal what has actually been achieved in the negotiations is quite unprecedented. And what has been achieved is significant - Trump can indeed declare victory. Listen to this segment - it goes way beyond what Obama achieved.

But everything indicates that Trump won't take yes for an answer. That he will start a war of choice very soon.

Which is probably why the Omani FM decided to go public.

So that the American people knew that peace was within reach when Trump instead opted for war.

The recent presidential meetings with different wards of Malé remind me of the subjects in movies going to kings with their problems. Where are the officials who actually need to be held accountable for the points raised by the citizens in this democracy?

According to Israel, if your ancestor lived somewhere 3000 years ago, you can ethnically cleanse the people living there now.

If historical presence justifies ethnic cleansing, then Native Americans should be deporting all Europeans back to Britain right now.
