Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh has firmly stated that Iran will not transfer its enriched uranium to the United States, responding to comments made by US President Donald Trump. Khatibzadeh, speaking in Antalya, Turkey, emphasized that Iran is not prepared for further negotiations due to what he described as the US's maximalist position. Trump had claimed that the US would recover 970 pounds (440 kilograms) of enriched uranium, which he referred to as 'nuclear dust' believed to be buried under nuclear sites that were severely damaged by US military strikes last year. The ongoing tensions reflect the complexities surrounding Iran's nuclear program and the challenges in US-Iran relations.
