The Supreme leader emphasized the significance of uranium enrichment as a critical component to their development.
He asserted that Iran’s nuclear industry would be ineffective without it and that the country would not rely on foreign sources for fuel.
This announcement is believed to have been a blow to the United States with heightened tensions between them.
There is an ongoing nuclear talks with the United States, where president Trump made a key demand for Iran to halt uranium enrichment.
It is clear that the Iran supreme leader Khamenei has rejected the US proposal and labeled it as one that is contrary to Iran’s interests.
