Tehran Tells Washington: Drop 'Excessive Demands' for Deal

Tehran rejected Washington's “excessive demands” for a return to the nuclear deal, calling on the US to drop its insistence on complete removal of nuclear facilities and enriched uranium. The Americans had demanded the destruction of Iran's three major nuclear facilities and the transfer of uranium to the US, proposals rejected by Tehran. The talks in Geneva did not result in an agreement, with the two sides maintaining significant differences on critical issues. Iran expressed objections to ending uranium enrichment and imposing permanent restrictions on its nuclear program. Despite the disagreements, progress has been made at the technical level, and further negotiations are expected to continue in Vienna next week. The Iranian side insists on the need for realism and avoiding excessive demands from Washington.
