NBC News provided further details on Iran’s latest response to President Trump’s Claim

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said today that Iran’s enriched uranium will not be leaving the country.

“Iran’s enriched uranium will under no circumstances be transferred anywhere,” he told state TV.

He added, “Transferring uranium to the United States has not been an option. Just as Iran’s soil is sacred, enriched uranium is the same.”

Trump told CBS News today that Iranian officials had “agreed to everything,” including the removal of enriched uranium.

“Our people, together with the Iranians, are going to work together to go get it. And then we’ll take it to the United States,” Trump said.

Baghaei told state TV that the lifting of sanctions and compensation for war damages were of “particular importance” to Iran.

“There is no ambiguity regarding any part of the negotiations,” Baghaei said. “We have clearly stated our positions.”
