Abbas Araqchi‚ Iranʼs foreign minister shot down fake news about a supposed meeting between their UN rep and tech-mogul Elon Musk. “This was a made-up story by American media; we can only guess why they did it‚“ he stated in a state-tv chat
The minister pointed out that such meetings need green light from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (the countryʼs big boss): no permission was given for any talks. Its just not the right moment for these kind of meet-ups; weʼre still checking out what the new US team wants to do
Iranʼs nuclear program situation is getting more complex — theres issues with the IAEA about uranium stuff and some unexplained traces at different spots. “Our nuclear path will be tricky next year; weʼre ready to work together or face-off if needed‚“ Araqchi explained
The old nuclear deal from about 9 years ago (which US left like 6 years ago) isnt as important now. “If we start talking again; that deal might be useful as a starting point but its not the main thing anymore — we need something that actually works‚“ the minister said. His words show how Iran wants to re-think its whole nuclear strategy
