Iran rejects Vance demand to cut enrichment capacity
Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran's atomic energy organization, stated that Tehran will not abandon its nuclear enrichment program. Eslami characterized the activity as a national right, a position that directly contradicts the recent demands from U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Vance has called for significant reductions in Iran's enrichment capacity as a prerequisite for reaching a nuclear agreement.

The political standoff persists, yet current operations appear limited. According to reports, uranium enrichment is not taking place at this time. However, the International Atomic Energy Agency calculates that the Isfahan facility might still hold around 200 kilograms of enriched material. Tehran asserts that its nuclear activities adhere to international safeguards.
