Iranian security chief rejects transfer of enriched uranium out of country amid foreign proposals
——
Iran will not permit any of its stockpiles of enriched uranium to be transferred beyond its borders, according to Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei, speaking during an interview with Lebanon's Al Mayadeen TV.

Rezaei firmly dismissed a US proposal demanding that Tehran relocate its 60 percent enriched uranium inventory to a third country, confirming that Moscow has already been formally notified of Iran’s refusal following Russia's offer to receive and store the material.

While ruling out the physical removal of its nuclear materials, Rezaei noted that Tehran remains open to diluting the enriched uranium to lower purity levels under international oversight.
