PANews reported on April 15 that Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated at a press conference that Iran's legitimate rights under international law are non-negotiable. Iran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy was not granted by anyone and cannot be deprived under pressure or war. This right stems from Iran's status as a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and as long as Iran remains a member of the treaty, it should be able to benefit from it. Baghae said there is room for dialogue regarding the extent and type of uranium enrichment activities. However, Iran also emphasized that it must be able to continue uranium enrichment activities according to its own needs.
