"I do not know what Witkoff and Kushner conveyed to their boss.

What I do know is that on February 26, when we met in Geneva, we were able to make good progress.

The Foreign Minister of Oman read the text of his tweet to both delegations before publishing it, and both delegations confirmed that yes, it accurately described what we had achieved that day: significant progress.

They want to justify an unjustifiable act of aggression, so they are looking for an excuse.

I never said that we intend to build a bomb. What I said was that we have 440 kilograms of 60-percent enriched material, and this was not confidential at all; it is also mentioned in the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

I said that if this material were enriched further, according to the claims of your own experts, it could be enough to produce about ten bombs. Then I emphasized that we are ready to hand over this material, ready to dilute it, and ready to lower its level of enrichment.

My point in saying this was that the concession we are offering is truly a major one.

But how they interpreted these remarks, I do not know. Perhaps it is due to a lack of sufficient knowledge, or perhaps because they wanted, as I said, to justify an act of aggression—an act that cannot be justified in any way.

I hope that soon the truth about what happened on February 26 in Geneva will become clear to the public. We were very close to reaching an agreement".
