Reuters reported that a senior Iranian official said today, Wednesday, in response to a question about a statement made by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who said that Tehran should reduce its enrichment activities to end the war with Washington, that "the requests and ideas" from Washington regarding the Iranian nuclear program contradict Tehran's demands.

The official, who is directly involved in the indirect negotiations with the United States, added: "Vance's statements are ideas and requests from Washington... Americans are free to make requests and propose ideas, but they contradict Iran's demands."

The official stated that his country has not negotiated with the United States regarding the nuclear program, and that Washington must first meet Tehran's conditions before talks on the nuclear file can begin.

The official added that the recognition by the United States of Iran's right to nuclear enrichment represents Tehran's red line, which "will not show any flexibility on in any way."

However, a senior Iranian official confirmed that the details of enrichment "can be discussed later."
