BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 20. Neither in previous
nor in recent discussions has the issue of transferring Iran’s
stockpiles of enriched uranium to the United States or any other
country been raised, the spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, said at a press conference in
Tehran on April 20, Trend reports.
According to him, this issue is not on Iran’s agenda at all.
“The country’s firm position is to keep its nuclear achievements
within its territory. Claims regarding the export of enriched
uranium from the country have been fully refuted,” he noted.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
