Iran is no longer enriching uranium at any site in country: Minister

Iran's foreign minister on Sunday said that Tehran is no longer enriching uranium at any site in the country. Answering a question from an Associated Press journalist visiting Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered the most direct response yet from the Iranian government regarding its nuclear program following Israel and the United States' bombing its enrichment sites in June.

Iran's government issued a three-day visa for the AP reporter to attend a summit alongside other journalists from major British outlets and other media.
