Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told NDTV that Tehran no longer has full control over parts of its enriched uranium stockpile amid rising tensions with the United States. The statement comes as Washington increases pressure on Iran’s nuclear programme and demands strict limits on uranium enrichment. Iran maintained that its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes but rejected calls to completely halt enrichment or transfer uranium abroad. Reports suggest ongoing diplomatic efforts remain fragile, with disagreements over inspections, sanctions relief and nuclear restrictions continuing to block a breakthrough. The issue has intensified fears of renewed conflict and concerns over Iran’s potential proximity to weapons-grade uranium capability. (PC: NDTV)
