Araqchi said Iran was ready to make concessions before the US attack

The Iranian side was ready to make concessions in the nuclear sphere before the attack by the United States, but Washington is distorting Tehran's position. This was announced on March 14 by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.

"I never said that we were going to make bombs. I said that we have 440 kg of material enriched to 60%. <...> I said, look, it's mentioned in the report. If you enrich it further, it could be enough for 10 bombs, according to your own experts. Therefore, we are ready to give them up and give them away. We are ready to dilute them, to reduce their degree of enrichment," Araqchi said in an interview with the MS Now TV channel.

The Iranian Foreign minister added that, speaking about Iran's readiness to abandon the existing materials, he wanted to show that Tehran's concession was "really great."
