Iran needs to continue domestic uranium enrichment for the production of radiopharmaceuticals and to fuel the country's "nascent" nuclear power reactors, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Monday.



"No one in their right mind would abandon the fruits of tremendous investment in homegrown and peaceful technology which is saving lives -- and simply because bullying foreigners demand it," Araghchi said on social media platform X.



Iran has stepped up diplomatic efforts in recent weeks over the nuclear issue. On Friday morning, Iran as well as France, Britain and Germany, collectively known as the E3, resumed nuclear talks in Istanbul, Turkiye.



On Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said a team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will visit Iran within the next two weeks, during which a manual regarding the future of Iran's cooperation with the IAEA will be presented.
