Iran rules out nuclear concessions despite possible US Strait of Hormuz deal

firstpost.com — September 25, 2026 at 08:01 PM UTC

Iran will not compromise on its nuclear programme even if the US accepts its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a senior Iranian official said on Friday, stating the waterway will remain closed until Washington meets all of Tehran's demands. The proposal, outlined by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Thursday, calls for reopening the waterway within seven days in exchange for US concessions, including ending the naval blockade, lifting oil sanctions, releasing frozen funds, and stopping regional hostilities. The Strait has become a key leverage point amid escalating tensions. Iran's conditions include retaining highly enriched uranium domestically rather than transferring it abroad, a principal US demand. Tehran has enriched uranium to 60% purity, approaching weapons-grade levels, though it denies seeking nuclear weapons. The IAEA estimated Iran possessed 440.9 kilograms of such material before June 2025 strikes.
