Iran’s Foreign Ministry states that transferring enriched uranium to the U.S. or any other country was never discussed in current or past negotiations, contradicting an earlier media report.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry denied any plan to transfer the country’s enriched uranium reserves to the United States or any other country. Spokesperson Baghaei said the issue was never raised in either current or previous negotiations and reiterated Tehran’s position that its nuclear achievements must remain on Iranian territory. This directly contradicts an earlier Israel Hayom report that cited diplomatic sources as saying Iran had agreed to transfer all of its enriched uranium, possibly to Russia, the IAEA, or the United States.
