"Not Even A Tiny Bit": Iran Rejects Moving Enriched Uranium Out Of Country
"Not even a tiny bit of enriched nuclear material will leave Iran; such materials constitute a major asset and national wealth for the Iranian people, intended for use within the country," said Rezaei, Iran's secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
Tehran — Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei firmly rejected the idea of moving enriched uranium out of the country, stating that such materials are a vital national asset intended for use within Iran, according to state TV. Rezaei, who is the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, emphasized that Iran will not entertain any negotiations until America takes measures to build trust. This trust-building process must begin with Iran fulfilling its own conditions, he added.
Iran's chief negotiator and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf echoed Rezaei's sentiments when speaking to Pakistani army chief Asim Munir during his visit to Tehran. Ghalibaf reiterated that there are no new proposals to discuss and emphasized that America cannot earn Iran's trust unless it meets the seven conditions set by Iran. Ghalibaf also strongly rejected the notion that threats and military maneuvers can sway Iran's strategic decisions.
Among Iran's demands, which are part of its seven conditions for dialogue, is a comprehensive ceasefire across all fronts.
