										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tehran and Washington are witnessing renewed strain as Iran has made it clear that it will continue its uranium enrichment activities despite mounting pressure from the United States. Iranian officials have stated that threats from America will not alter the country’s nuclear policy.</p>
<p>Speaking at a conference in Tehran, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that during recent discussions with American representatives, Iran clearly communicated that it would not abandon uranium enrichment. He stressed that Iran would not yield to pressure from powerful nations and that intimidation would not influence its decisions.</p>

<blockquote><p><span style="color: #008000;"><em>Araghchi added that no country has the authority to dictate Iran’s behavior or determine its national interests. Referring to the recent deployment of an American aircraft carrier in nearby waters, he said Iran is not afraid of US military positioning in the region. According to him, such actions do not weaken Tehran’s resolve.</em></span></p></blockquote>
<p>On the issue of Iran’s missile program, Araghchi stated that Tehran does not consider it open for negotiation, as it is directly linked to national security. He reiterated that Iran seeks to avoid confrontation but is prepared to respond if attacked.</p>
<p>The foreign minister also expressed deep mistrust toward Washington, saying Tehran has little confidence in the United States. He questioned whether the American side is genuinely serious about pursuing fresh negotiations. Commenting on new sanctions imposed by the US administration, Araghchi said that while Washington speaks of peace, its actions raise doubts about its true intentions.</p>
<p>He said Iran is closely monitoring the situation and will soon decide whether to continue the talks or reconsider its participation. Meanwhile, senior American officials, including key negotiators, recently visited the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, signaling heightened attention to the developments in the region.</p>
<p>The ongoing diplomatic standoff underscores the fragile nature of relations between the two countries, with both sides maintaining firm positions on critical security and nuclear issues.</p>
