Iran’s foreign ministry says that Tehran’s right to enrich uranium is “indisputable” although the level of enrichment is “negotiable”, AFP reports.

In a weekly press briefing, foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has said the right to peaceful use of nuclear energy cannot be “taken away under pressure or through war”.

“Regarding the level and type of enrichment, we have always stated that this issue is negotiable. We have emphasised that Iran should be able to continue enrichment in accordance with its needs,” he adds.
