Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday said that Tehran will not back down from ultimately trying to continue to enrich uranium, a key point of contention between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime amid talks to end hostilities.

Iranian state-run outlet PressTV quoted Pezeshkian as saying that Tehran “has not and will never back down from its fundamental right to uranium enrichment” and he claimed that the United States “has been forced to accept” the demand.
