Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for Iran’s National Security Committee, has said Tehran will not accept enriched uranium being transferred out of the country and denied that any commitments to do so had been made, despite US claims to the contrary.
Rezaei said that Tehran “categorically rejects” anything related to zeroing out enrichment or halting its peaceful nuclear programme as it considers this a strategic red line.
