Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said in a Monday press conference that the transferral of the country’s enriched uranium stockpiles abroad as part of any future peace deal “is not on the Islamic Republic’s agenda.”
Baghaei said Tehran is reviewing a U.S. proposal conveyed by Pakistan’s army chief during a recent visit, but rejected media speculation about the details of the offer.
“The country’s definitive position is to preserve nuclear achievements within Iran’s territory and the claims made in this regard are completely denied,” Baghaei said.
Discussing continued disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, Baghaei also said that the “normalization of traffic is not possible,” citing what he said were “repeated violations of the ceasefire and threats to Iranian ports and ships by the U.S.”
