Iran Rejects Trump's Claim About Uranium Transfer Deal

Iran's foreign ministry on Friday flatly rejected President Trump's claims about a uranium transfer agreement. The ministry said Iran's enriched uranium stockpile "is not going to be transferred" anywhere.

The dispute started when Trump told CBS News that Iran has "agreed to everything," including removing enriched uranium from the country. He later told Reuters the US would work with Iran to recover the uranium "at a leisurely pace."

But Iranian officials quickly pushed back. Tehran issued an official statement confirming that no such deal exists with Washington. The foreign ministry was clear that Iran will not transfer its stockpile of enriched uranium anywhere.

Enriched uranium is nuclear fuel that has been processed to increase its uranium-235 content. At low levels, it powers nuclear reactors. At high levels, it can be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran has been enriching uranium for years, leading to international concerns about its nuclear program.

The conflicting statements highlight the unclear state of US-Iran relations and any potential agreements between the two countries.
