Iran’s UN ambassador, Amir‑Saeid Iravani, declared on 29 June that nuclear enrichment is a non‑negotiable, inalienable right for peaceful energy under the NPT and “will never stop,” rejecting U.S. demands as “dictatorial”. While open to negotiation, he said “unconditional surrender” is unacceptable and said Iran will not resume talks under current pressure. He denied threats to IAEA chief Rafael Grossi or inspectors, though parliament suspended cooperation, blocking site access. Iran remains willing to place enriched uranium under international supervision or export it, but not halt domestic production. These statements follow U.S. and Israeli airstrikes inflicted damage but failed to eliminate Iran’s capabilities. (PC: The Guardian)
