TEHRAN — Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, firmly stated on Tuesday that his nation would not permit any nuclear material to leave the country, according to state television. Rezaei, who serves as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, emphasized that enriched nuclear materials are a vital national asset, intended solely for domestic use. He explicitly ruled out negotiations until America took steps to build trust, which he claimed must commence with Iran meeting its own conditions.
Rezaei's remarks were echoed by Iran's chief negotiator and Parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who spoke with visiting Pakistani army chief Asim Munir. Ghalibaf echoed Iran's stance, reiterating that America could not earn Iran's trust without meeting the seven conditions set forth. He stressed that threats and military maneuvers would not sway Iran's strategic decisions. Iran's demands include a ceasefire, among other measures.
