Nuclear talks between Iran and the United States "will lead nowhere" if Washington insists that Tehran drop its uranium enrichment activity to zero, Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takhtravanchi was quoted by state media on Monday as saying.

Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s chief Iran negotiator, offered the clearest outlines of the administration’s position in talks over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Iran’s president says his country will continue talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not relinquish its rights because of U.S. threats.
