Iran's UN Ambassador, Amir-Saeid Iravani, is clear: uranium enrichment will continue "without interruption." This declaration comes as tensions rise and reports surface of damage to Iranian nuclear sites from alleged US/Israeli strikes. ๐ฅ
Our Right, Our Way! ๐
Iravani emphasizes Iran's non-negotiable right to enrich for peaceful uses under the NPT. "The enrichment is our rightโฆ and we want to implement this right," he stated. Iran seeks nothing more or less than any other NPT member. ๐๏ธ
No Stopping Us! ๐ช
He's pushing back hard on claims that Iran's nuclear program has been "obliterated." While the IAEA confirmed "severe damage" to facilities like Natanz, Iravani shows Tehran's strong resolve to keep going. ๐
No Deals, No Limits! โ
Don't expect Iran to trade enrichment for investment, or to limit its ballistic missiles โ those are a crucial deterrent. ๐ก๏ธ
IAEA Concerns & Global Divide ๐
The IAEA is worried about Iran's rising enriched uranium stockpile and losing "continuity of knowledge." While they haven't found a weapons program, access is limited. ๐ The UN Security Council is still split, with some demanding suspension while Iran insists on its sovereign rights. ๐ค
Iravani's firm stance highlights the deep divide. The world is watching to see if diplomacy wins or if tensions escalate further. โณ
