Iran has denied that it has agreed to transfer enriched uranium out of the country.
Spokesman for Iran’s National Security Committee, Ebrahim Rezaei, made this known on Friday in Terhan, the nation’s capital city.
This is coming amid US claims that the Islamic Republic has accepted to transfer enriched uranium.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Rezaei said Tehran categorically rejects anything related to zeroing out enrichment or halting its peaceful nuclear programme as it considers this a strategic red line.
It will be recalled that US President Donald Trump has claimed repeatedly that Iran would turn over its enriched uranium stockpile.
In a post on his Truth Social, Trump said on Friday that the US will get all Nuclear ‘Dust’.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, has also dismissed Trump’s claims.
“Enriched uranium is as sacred to us as Iranian soil and will not be transferred anywhere under any circumstances,” Baghaei told the Tasnim news agency.
