Iran defends uranium enrichment "without restriction" under international supervision
Iran defended on Saturday the “legality” of its uranium enrichment program under international supervision, at a time when peace negotiations with the United States remain stalled mainly due to differences over Iran's nuclear program. “From a legal point of view, there is no restriction on the level of uranium enrichment, as long as it is carried out under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as was the case with Iran,” stated the Iranian representation to the UN on the social network X.
