Iran will not exceed the 60% limit on uranium enrichment if nuclear talks with world powers fail, Iranian nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami said on Saturday.
In an interview with Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik, the head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (AEO) added that the Islamic Republic will not enrich uranium past 60% even if US sanctions on the country are not lifted.
Iran's nuclear activities are "carried out according to the agreements, statutes and regulations of IAEA," Eslami stated.
Following a futile round of negotiations between Iran and major world powers in November, the indirect talks are set to resume in Vienna on Monday.
While Iran is inching closer to the production of weapons-grade uranium, the US has warned that if the deal is not revived soon, it will become unviable.
In November, Tehran announced it has produced 25 kg. of uranium enriched up to 60%.
Despite Eslami's commitment to not exceed 60% enrichment, Tehran continues to showcase its arsenal in a hostile manner towards Israel.
Top Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commanders stated on Friday that Iranian war games conducted last week were intended to send a warning to Israel.
The war games included firing ballistic and cruise missiles, as state television showed missiles flattening a target that resembled Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor at the conclusion of the exercises on Friday.
