Islamabad, Pakistan – Web Desk: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said that Iran will reduce its uranium enrichment levels instead of sending enriched material abroad, marking a key development in ongoing nuclear-related diplomatic discussions.
In an interview with Arab media, Ishaq Dar stated that initial US demands had called for Iran to transfer its enriched uranium stockpiles outside the country. However, he said Iran has now opted to lower enrichment levels domestically rather than export the material.
He added that three technical working groups are currently engaged in discussions covering nuclear issues, frozen assets, and Lebanon-related matters as part of broader negotiations.
The Deputy Prime Minister further said that ships will be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz for up to 60 days without additional tariffs, with only standard navigation or service fees applicable.
Ishaq Dar also noted that US President Donald Trump had personally overseen the US-Iran negotiation process, underscoring the high-level political attention the talks are receiving.
He said Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates are supporting the mediation efforts, adding that while the next phase of negotiations may be more challenging, a final agreement remains achievable.
“There is no negative point in the deal,” Dar said, expressing cautious optimism about the outcome of ongoing diplomatic engagement.
