Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in an interview with state television that Iran is prepared to accept broader international monitoring of its nuclear program while maintaining its uranium enrichment activities.

Key Statements:

1. On Enrichment Rights:
   "We will not retreat from our rights - enrichment activities must continue. But we're ready to build confidence through greater transparency and expanded monitoring, as we're certain of our program's peaceful nature."

2. Negotiation Red Lines:

   • Rejected dismantling enrichment facilities: "These aren't imported devices to easily remove - they're domestically developed technology."

   • Warned: "If they seek to deny our peaceful nuclear rights, there will be no deal."

3. Current Negotiations:

   • Called for breaking the deadlock in Iran-U.S. talks

   • Said tomorrow's 5th round (in Muscat/Rome) will test if Washington "revises its positions"

   • On deal prospects: "It's premature to judge - things will become clearer tomorrow."

U.S. Position Contrast:

• U.S. envoy Stephen Wittkof told ABC: "A core condition for any deal is Iran halting uranium enrichment."

Breakdown Threat:
Araghchi warned if talks fail:
"We'll continue our nuclear program - this advanced industry serving medicine, agriculture, environment and power generation."

Context:

• 4 previous indirect talks held in Muscat/Rome

• Comes as IAEA reports Iran enriching at 60% purity

• U.S. insists on return to JCPOA limits
