Iran Demands Domestic Uranium Blending Before Final US Deal

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran requires the dilution of its highly enriched uranium within its own borders as a condition for a final US deal. He noted that enrichment-related issues will be addressed in a later phase and emphasized that Iran will not proceed to permanent peace talks until an interim agreement's provisions, including the lifting of a US maritime blockade and cessation of hostilities, are fulfilled.
