Iran says it won’t hand over enriched uranium to U.S.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh dismissed claims by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding uranium and sounded a note of caution regarding future talks between the two countries.
Speaking to the Associated Press in the Turkish city of Antalya, Khatibzadeh said the Iranians were not ready for a new round of face-to-face talks with the U.S. because the Americans “have not abandoned their maximalist position.”
On Friday, Trump said the U.S. will go into Iran and “get all the nuclear dust,” referring to the 970 pounds (440 kilograms) of enriched uranium believed to be buried under nuclear sites badly damaged by U.S. military strikes last year.
