Iranian Foreign Minister: Nuclear weapons are unacceptable - what now?
In a current television speech, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi explained on May 31, 2025 that nuclear weapons for Iran were "unacceptable". This happened in the context of ongoing negotiations between Iran and the USA about a new nuclear agreement that has been taking place since April 2025. These conversations are held with the mediation of the Oman and were described in the fifth round as "constructive", while another meeting is in prospect, but without naming a specific date. In these negotiations, the United States calls for the full waiver of Iran to uranium enrichment, which Tehran rejects and instead refers to its right to nuclear capacities for civil use, [vienna.at] (https://www.vienna.at/iranischer-aussenminister-Minister-Minister-ATomwaffen- Inacceptable/9443138) reports.The latest round of negotiations in Rome has taken place against the background of an intensive discussion about Iranian uranium enrichment.

tensions and diplomatic efforts
After developments in uranium enrichment, concern is growing both in the international community and within Iran. As early as March 2025, the EU expressed "deeply concerned" about an expansion of the Iranian nuclear program, which is underpinned by a report by the Austrian Office for the Protection of the Constitution. It states that the Iranian nuclear program is already "far advanced" and that the government could "make" inviolable. Iran reacted to this report with the allegations of the "medial mood", whereby it at the same time denied the increase in uranium production and described the IAEA reports as "nothing new".
The concerned Situation is also complicated by the geopolitical tensions in the region. After the United States exit from the 2015 nuclear agreement under President Trump, Iran declared that it was no longer tied to the agreed conditions. Since then, according to international assessment, working on nuclear weapons in Iran has been in full swing. In a tense regional context, Iran supported several times against US military in Iraq and Syria, which increases the risk of a regional conflict, such as [https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/asien/iran-atom negotiations-120.html).
