Iran's Foreign Ministry has issued a firm denial of any plan to transfer 60% enriched uranium to the United States, rejecting claims circulated by American officials and media. An informed Iranian official similarly denied any agreement, clarifying that both sides are still working on a 'framework for negotiations' rather than a finalized deal. The Foreign Ministry also emphasized that any continued US blockade would be considered a violation of the Lebanon ceasefire, to which Iran would respond. Separately, Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian stated that commercial ships are being allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under specific conditions, including payment of fees and a ban on vessels linked to Israel.
