Iranian nuclear chief insists on Tehran’s right to enrich uranium

Iran's nuclear chief, Mohammed Eslami, asserted Tehran's right to enrich uranium during a memorial service for the late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He rejected U.S. demands to abandon uranium enrichment, stating that those wishes would be 'buried.' Negotiations between Washington and Tehran over the controversial nuclear program are ongoing, with a meeting scheduled in Islamabad to discuss a long-term peace agreement.
