        "summary": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pressed Iran to take concrete steps to abandon any ambitions for nuclear weapons amid ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran. He emphasised that while Iran may pursue nuclear energy, it must adhere to established mechanisms and avoid systems that could convert nuclear material into weapons. On the same day, Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed parliamentary discussions on potentially withdrawing from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), while denying direct talks with the US and dismissing a US peace plan as unrealistic.",
        "content": "<p>Washington (ANTARA) - United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio\nhas urged Iran to commit to ending its nuclear ambitions amid ongoing\nnegotiations between Washington and Tehran. \u201cI think they must take real\nsteps to end any ambitions to possess nuclear weapons,\u201d said Secretary\nRubio to Al Jazeera on Monday (30\/3), in response to a question about\nthe minimum concessions Tehran would need to end the conflict. If the\nIslamic Republic of Iran wishes to produce nuclear energy, it must\ncomply with \u201cestablished\u201d mechanisms, as done by several countries\nimporting nuclear fuel. \u201cThey must not have a system that allows\nconverting nuclear into weapons,\u201d he added. On that same day, Iran\u2019s\nForeign Ministry confirmed that the country\u2019s parliament is considering\nIran\u2019s withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran\nreaffirmed that there are no efforts to create nuclear weapons. However,\nIran denied the existence of direct talks, stating that they have only\nreceived messages expressing America\u2019s desire to engage in dialogue.\nPreviously, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff stated that a 15-point peace\nplan had been forwarded by America to Iran via Pakistan. Witkoff claimed\nthat the plan had received a \u201cpositive reaction,\u201d while Iran\u2019s Foreign\nMinistry described the US plan as unrealistic.<\/p>",
