He emphasized that all Iranian nuclear sites are under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards and monitoring, and denied any undeclared enrichment. Despite these developments, Iran maintains its right to nuclear enrichment for peaceful purposes and insists it will not relinquish this right. Iranian officials reported ongoing threats of further attacks if Iran resumes activity at damaged sites. The situation follows increased tensions after the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal and recent steps by European nations to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran. The country also hosted a summit condemning what it calls aggression against Iran, while <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >facing internal economic pressures<\/a> and societal challenges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Iran claims it is no longer enriching uranium at any site<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2401820\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>TEHRAN, Iran (AP) &mdash;<\/strong> Iran&rsquo;s foreign minister said Sunday that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\">Tehran<\/a> is&nbsp;no longer enriching uranium&nbsp;at any site in the country, trying to signal to the West that it remains open to potential negotiations over its atomic program.<\/p>\n<p>Answering a question from an <em>Associated Press<\/em> journalist visiting Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered the most direct response yet from the Iranian government regarding its nuclear program following <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\">Israel<\/a> and&nbsp;the United States&rsquo;s bombing of its enrichment sites in June&nbsp;during a 12-day war.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3887376\/china-license-fentanyl-precursors-push-cartels-new-directions\/\">China concession on fentanyl precursors will push cartels in new directions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3888465\/congo-m23-peace-deal-bid-to-end-decades-long-conflict\/\">Congo and M23 rebels sign framework for peace deal in latest bid to end decades-long conflict<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3888464\/after-assads-fall-syrians-and-eu-officials-meet-in-damascus\/\">After Assad&rsquo;s fall, Syrians and EU officials hold rare meeting in Damascus<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;There is no undeclared nuclear enrichment in Iran.
