TEHRAN, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry on Saturday rejected the recent remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Tehran must stop enriching uranium and import the material instead.
"We welcome Pompeo to the world of foreign policy and diplomacy. But I believe he is unaware of international developments," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.
Meanwhile, Qasemi asserted Iran's "legal right" to uranium enrichment.
"Iran's legal right to uranium enrichment has been established and Iran possesses its know-how. So I believe he is not updated on developments and is repeating words of his defeated predecessors," the Iranian spokesman noted.
"Such remarks are not understandable either to us or to the world," Qasemi added.
