Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei declared in televised remarks that Iran will not permit any enriched nuclear material to leave the country, and he warned of consequences should the United States strike again. Rezaei made these statements to Lebanon’s pro-Iranian Al Mayadeen TV following US officials' comments that additional military action against Iran was not necessary.
Analysts noted that President Donald Trump's more conciliatory tone since the Republican Party's loss in the November 3 midterm elections may be influencing this stance. No negotiations are currently underway between Tehran and Washington, according to Rezaei. Iran's Supreme Leader has directed that the country's near-weapons-grade uranium should not be exported, according to two senior Iranian sources.
