Iran: We will Never Transfer Our Uranium to Another Country
Tehran refuses to send enriched uranium to Russia or any country as Trump demands shipment for nuclear deal. Iran says transfer 'totally out of agenda' for talks.
Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran's Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, stated that Iran has no intention of transferring its enriched uranium stockpiles to any other country as part of potential diplomatic negotiations. In remarks to Iran's Fars News Agency, Bagheri Kani emphasized that such a transfer is "totally out of agenda" and not a subject for discussion with the United States.
Apparently, Russia has been offering to take the enriched uranium for a long time.
This position comes amid heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, with President Donald Trump demanding Iran ship out its enriched uranium as a condition for a new nuclear deal.
Bagheri Kani's comments align with Iran's broader stance on maintaining its nuclear capabilities, including enrichment rights, despite domestic protests and international pressure.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has echoed similar sentiments, indicating readiness for "fair" talks but rejecting U.S. "dictation." No immediate response from U.S. officials was available, as diplomatic efforts through mediators like Turkey continue.
