Iran's Mehr News Agency has issued a statement dismissing U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that the United States obtained Iran's enriched uranium as baseless. The Iranian state media outlet stated that the president's demands remain illogical and unreasonable. This denial directly contradicts Trump's repeated assertions that Iran would hand over its nuclear material to the U.S. as part of a deal. The conflicting narratives highlight the ongoing tension and lack of a clear, agreed-upon framework between the two nations.
