Iran has refused to hand over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to the United States

Iran stated that it had not agreed to transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and denied reports of a possible shipment of nuclear materials out of the country.

This was reported by Reuters, citing a high-ranking Iranian source.

According to the source, the issue of Iran’s nuclear program is planned to be discussed separately during upcoming negotiations on a final agreement between Tehran and the United States.

“The nuclear issue will be addressed during negotiations on a final agreement and is therefore not part of the current agreement,” the source noted.

Iran also denied reports of alleged agreements reached regarding the transfer or removal of highly enriched uranium.

“No agreement has been reached regarding the removal of Iran’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium from the country,” a representative from Tehran emphasized.

Thus, Iran has officially confirmed that the issue of nuclear stockpiles is not yet part of the current agreements with the U.S. and will remain the subject of separate negotiations.

Iranian state media reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement regarding alleged agreements on opening the Strait of Hormuz, calling it “incomplete and untrue.”

The U.S. reacted strongly to Iran’s intentions to introduce a toll system for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, stating that this is unacceptable and could derail any negotiations. Washington considers this strategic waterway critically important and will not allow Tehran to exert commercial or political control over it. 

As a reminder, Cuba has restored its power grid following a massive blackout.

Trump also confirmed the U.S. intention to intervene in Cuba.
