Mohsen Razai, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, says that Tehran will not allow "even a single particle" of Iran's enriched nuclear materials to leave the country.
In an interview with al-Mayadeen Lebanon, Razai said that Iran also informed Russia that it would keep its enriched nuclear materials inside the country and use them.
He added that Iran needs these materials to design ships and submarines that work with nuclear energy.
Russia has previously offered to transfer Iran's enriched uranium to its soil as part of a possible nuclear deal with the United States. A proposal he left to Tehran to decide on.
Razai's statements were published while the issue of Iran's nuclear program is one of the points of contention between Tehran and Washington in efforts to end the war.
