[70716] Nuclear Tension: Tehran Refuses to Hand Over Enriched Uranium to the US


Reports on Mojtaba Khamenei's refusal to transfer enriched uranium to the US, contrary to President Donald Trump's firm demand.

Tension Surrounding the Iranian Nuclear Project

Against the backdrop of increasing diplomatic tensions, reports are mounting of a head-on confrontation between Tehran and Washington regarding the future of Iranian uranium stockpiles. While the Trump administration is setting an uncompromising demand for the transfer and dismantling of the nuclear material, figures in Iran are presenting a firm counter-position.

According to Iran International, which is affiliated with the Iranian diaspora opposition, President Donald Trump insists on his demand that the enriched uranium be transferred to the United States and destroyed. According to the channel, officials in the Islamic Republic cite Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader's son, as stating that "they will not hand over enriched uranium to the US."

A similar report also appeared on the پیام ایران channel, which is close to internal resistance circles in Iran, which reported based on the "Al-Hadath" network that Mojtaba Khamenei "has made his final decision: no uranium will be handed over to the US."

The reports highlight the deep gap between the American demands for removing the nuclear threat and an Iranian leadership that refuses to give up its strategic assets. The situation reflects a significant escalation in the dynamics between the countries at the current time.
