[Iranian Foreign Minister Emphasizes He Will Not Yield to Pressure; Iran Reportedly Considering Concessions] Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi posted on social media on the 22nd that Iranians will not succumb to pressure because "we are Iranians." An anonymous senior Iranian official also revealed that Iran is willing to make concessions in exchange for US recognition of its right to peaceful use of nuclear energy and the lifting of sanctions against Iran. An anonymous Iranian official stated on the 22nd that, in order to facilitate a nuclear agreement between Iran and the US, Iran is willing to seriously consider making certain concessions, including sending half of its currently highest-enriched uranium abroad to dilute the other half, and participating in the creation of a civilian uranium enrichment consortium, in exchange for US recognition of Iran's "peaceful uranium enrichment rights" and the lifting of economic sanctions against Iran.
