Transfer of enriched uranium from Iran "off the table", FM spox says 📌Tehran, IRNA - Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei categorically rejected transferring enriched uranium from Iran, emphasizing that the option was "off the table" and stating that there is no justification for such a move. In a conversation with Al Maidan, Bakay said that Iran is shortening the time frame for implementing its proposal from 7 days to 2 days, which demonstrates its seriousness and good faith. Referring to apparent confusion within the US administration over which senior officials are authorized to negotiate with Tehran, he said some senior US officials have advanced conflicting demands based on domestic political calculations and the 2028 presidential election, pursuing a policy of "passing the messengers" by repeatedly changing their demands. He emphasized that Tehran delivered its offer transparently through intermediaries while maintaining contact through meetings and direct phone calls. Iran remains committed to a diplomatic solution, he said, without compromising its national interests and security. In the nuclear file, Baqaei Al Mayadeen said that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors visited Iran 10 days ago to carry out routine inspections limited to the Bushehr nuclear power plant and the facilities that remain accessible. He added that other facilities have ongoing damage, highlighting the lack of any protocol that currently allows inspectors to examine damaged sites under the prevailing conditions. "The International Atomic Energy Agency has no mechanism or protocol for inspecting damaged nuclear facilities under the current circumstances," he said. Regarding maritime navigation, he said that Tehran is currently focusing on restoring security in the Strait of Hormuz under self-defined conditions, while emphasizing that Iran's latest steps demonstrate its good faith and regional responsibility.
