The head of Iranian security rejects the transfer of enriched uranium out of the country in the face of foreign proposals.
Iran will not allow the transfer of any of its enriched uranium reserves beyond its borders, said the head of the Supreme Council for National Security, Mohsen Razai, who spoke during an interview with the Lebanese television Al Mayadin.
Razai strongly rejected an American proposal that required Tehran to transfer its 60% enriched uranium stocks to a third country, and confirmed that Moscow had already received official notification of Iran's refusal following Russia's offer to receive and store the material.
While ruling out the physical removal of its nuclear materials, Razai noted that Tehran remains open to diluting the enriched uranium to lower purity levels under international supervision.
