Iran’s
Foreign Ministry pushed back Thursday against international media reports that
Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had formally ordered the country’s highly
enriched uranium to remain inside Iran, calling the claims entirely without
foundation.
Ministry
spokesman Ismail Baqaei said the reports —which had circulated widely and
attributed the instruction to Khamenei directly— were “incorrect.”
Iran does not confirm speculation on the course of ongoing talks, he added,
including on nuclear negotiations or enrichment levels.
“Accurate
information is released exclusively through official channels.”
The
spokesman indicated that current negotiations remain focused on “ending
the war on all fronts, including Lebanon,” without elaborating on the
broader state of the talks.
