TEHRAN (Defapress) - In an interview with Defapress correspondent, Ebrahim Azizi, Head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, considered enrichment in our country a vital and national right about the recent statements of American officials regarding the complete cessation of uranium enrichment in Iran, and stated: The principle of enrichment is not a subject of negotiation under any circumstances and, as a national issue, it has a special place in the country's policies.

He added: This issue is an absolutely important and unavoidable issue for us in all respects, and there is no possibility of negotiating its principle.

Azizi also highlighted the role of enrichment in the country's legal and technical structure and noted: Uranium enrichment is an inalienable right of the Iranian nation, and no authority can deprive us of this right. The Islamic Republic of Iran has acted and will act within the framework of international regulations, but the principle of enrichment is our red line.

The head of the National Security Commission of the Parliament emphasized: Enrichment is not just a scientific or industrial issue for us, but a national value and a symbol of the country's independence. This issue is rooted in the will of the Islamic Republic of Iran's system, and the Islamic Consultative Assembly also firmly supports this policy.

He added: The enemies of the Islamic Republic should know that Iran will not retreat from the rights of its people under pressure, threats, or coercion, because enrichment is one of our firm principles and any discussion about its principle is meaningless.
