A senior Iranian source tells Reuters that Tehran has not agreed to hand over its highly enriched uranium stockpile.

The source said Iran’s nuclear issue was not part of the preliminary agreement with the United States.

“The nuclear issue will be addressed in negotiations for a final agreement and are therefore not part of the current deal. There has been no agreement over Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile to be shipped out of the country,” said the source.

Tasnim also reported that “Iran has accepted no actions whatsoever in the nuclear domain at this stage”.

“The matter of nuclear negotiations has been deferred until after the potential end of the war and the implementation of certain measures by the United States during this period,” the Iranian outlet added.
