Iranian President Pezeshkian said in a televised video on June 21 that Iran will never give up its right to enrich uranium and that the U.S. will ultimately be forced to accept that right. He added that U.S. President Trump has made a 180-degree reversal — from demanding Iran’s unconditional surrender to acknowledging Iran’s rights — which Pezeshkian said shows Washington cannot ignore Iran’s entitlement.

Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman traveling with the Iranian negotiating delegation to Switzerland, said on his personal social media on the 21st that Iran will rigorously follow up on US fulfilment of its commitments. The Switzerland meeting aimed to track implementation of clauses in the Iran–US memorandum of understanding; under Article 13, launching final-agreement talks depends on execution of Articles 1, 4, 5, 10 and 11. Article 1 — ending wars on all fronts, including Lebanon — must be implemented before final negotiations can begin. Talks focused on implementing those clauses, especially Article 1, and reviewed measures to execute Article 10 (Iran oil exports) and Article 11 (unfreezing frozen Iranian assets).
