Iranian International Minister Abbas Araqchi stated on Saturday that if america’ objective is to deprive Iran of its “nuclear rights”, Tehran won’t ever again down over these rights.
Araqchi was talking in Doha a day forward of one other spherical of deliberate nuclear talks between Iran and the US in Oman.
