Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has issued a firm statement directly contradicting recent US claims, declaring Iran's enriched uranium is 'as sacred to us as the soil of Iran and will not be transferred anywhere under any circumstances.' The statement appears to be a direct rebuttal to President Donald Trump's recent assertions about ongoing negotiations and the potential removal of Iran's nuclear stockpile. This public contradiction highlights the significant gap between the two sides' public positions on a core issue of the talks.
