Transfer of Iran’s Enriched Material to US Never Considered: Foreign Ministry

Tehran: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has said that while various options have been examined for addressing issues connected to Iran's nuclear file, the transfer of enriched material to the United States has never at any stage been considered.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Baqaei made the remarks in an interview with Iranian state TV on Friday night, addressing the latest status of discussions between Tehran and Washington and the outcome of Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir's recent visit to Tehran.

Asked about comments by US President Donald Trump and other officials regarding negotiation details, Baqaei said Tehran does not respond to the views expressed by American authorities, stressing that Iran focuses solely on its own objectives. He noted that progress toward an agreement will only be acknowledged when Iran determines that national interests, rights, and red lines are fully protected. The relevant governing bodies, he added, will make that assessment.

Baqaei said the framework of the current ceasefire understanding is clear and covers a two-week period. Recent exchanges, he noted, are intended to enable conditions for a complete end to the conflict. No discussions on extending the ceasefire have been held so far, and Iran's efforts, along with Pakistan's mediation, remain centered on ensuring Iran's interests and concluding the war.

Commenting on the outcome of the Pakistani military delegation's two-day talks in Tehran this week, the spokesperson stated that both sides clarified remaining gaps and identified areas where bilateral or border-related solutions may be possible. He said the discussions differed from previous rounds, which were focused on nuclear issues, whereas the current agenda relates to ending the conflict and includes broader topics such as the Strait of Hormuz.

Baqaei urged the public and media not to be swayed by online statements issued by US officials, asserting that Iran bases decisions on realities on the ground. Regarding claims of a maritime blockade, he emphasized that Iran will take appropriate measures whenever necessary, adding that the Strait of Hormuz remains under Iran's supervision and that any continued blockade would be met with a firm response.
