Iran Rules Out Export of Enriched Uranium, Complicating US Nuclear Talks

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaï told Pakistan's army chief, a mediator in Iran-US negotiations, that Tehran will not allow any enriched uranium to leave the country, calling it 'national wealth.' This hardens Iran's negotiating position on the fate of its stockpile, a key sticking point in talks. The statement signals limited flexibility and may stall progress, though it could be a bargaining posture rather than a final position.
