Enriched uranium constitutes a national asset of Iran, is necessary for meeting the country's needs, and is not going to be transferred abroad, argued the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, Mohsen Rezaei, speaking to the television network Al Mayadeen. Rezaei underlined that Tehran will not allow even the smallest quantity of enriched uranium to be removed from Iran. Ηe added that Iranian authorities have informed Russia that enriched nuclear materials will remain on the territory of the Islamic Republic and will be used exclusively by itself.
On November 4, Washington announced that the US is continuing indirect negotiations with Iran regarding the fate of enriched uranium stockpiles that remain buried under debris following American strikes. On March 14, Axios had reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a telephone conversation with his American counterpart, proposed the transfer of enriched uranium from Iran to Russia. However, the head of the White House rejected the proposal. Earlier, Iran had refused to make concessions to the US regarding the issue of transferring enriched uranium outside the country.
