Uranium enrichment, as part of the natural cycle of Iran's nuclear industry, is absolutely non-negotiable, said Esmail Baghaei, spokesman of Iran's Foreign Ministry, on Monday's press briefing.
Enrichment is a technology and a need to ensure that Iran's nuclear industry will continue to work without interruption. Therefore, it is both a right enjoyed by Iran under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the result of decades of hard work and effort by Iranian scientists, which cannot be ignored under any circumstances, said Baghaei.
In every negotiation session, the Iranian side feels that progress has been made and at least both sides have furthered their understanding of the other's perspectives. But unfortunately, upon their arrival at Washington, the U.S. delegation and others lost no time to voice their different positions. This has led to multiple and repeated uncertainty and made negotiation process difficult, he added.

China's movie industry is increasingly deriving its earnings from broader consumer economy.
Released during the 2025 summer season, the film "Nobody" became China's highest-grossing two-dimensional animated film -- and its success went beyond theaters.
Through licensing and brand partnerships, the movie has generated 2.5 billion yuan (about 358.3 million U.S. dollars) in retail sales to consumers, with more than 800 licensed products on the market.
Ranging from plush toys to food and home goods, the movie-related merchandise can be purchased from over 3,000 online and offline outlets.
Meanwhile, souvenir stores are crowded at Shanghai Disneyland's Zootopia themed land, with hats, plush toys, and collectibles seeing steady demand from visitors.
"China's film industry is no longer defined by box office revenue alone. It has become a new growth engine that links and energizes multiple cultural sectors. At the heart of every successful film is strong storytelling. High-quality productions create cultural value, which in turn enhances the commercial value of intellectual property and opens up new consumption opportunities. I believe China's film industry delivered an outstanding performance in the past year," said Chen Xiaoda, vice dean of Shanghai Vancouver Film School.
