Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said any demand for Iran to hand over its highly enriched uranium to the United States was a “non-starter”, reports Al Jazeera.

“We will not reach a conclusion if we try to delve into details related to highly enriched uranium in Iran,” he was quoted as saying by the state-run IRNA news agency.

Baghaei also said a Qatari delegation was currently holding talks with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, adding that Pakistan remained the main mediator in the negotiations.
