‘Iran will never stop uranium enrichment’

‘Iran will never stop uranium enrichment’

A senior Iranian lawmaker has ruled out the possibility of any cessation in Iran’s uranium enrichment activities, saying the measure is the country’s inalienable right.

Chairman of Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Tuesday: “What is necessary for the Islamic Republic is that enrichment, as an undeniable national right, will be never stopped.”
The Iranian lawmaker pointed to the West’s unilateral embargoes against Iran over its nuclear energy program and noted, “The sanctions were imposed illegally and under the US pressure. Therefore, the precondition for confidence-building is the lifting of sanctions.”
He noted that since Iran’s enrichment right has been recognized under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), “whatever the West has done so far is illegal.”
