JAKARTA - Senior Iranian officials have confirmed that there are no plans to move Iran's enriched uranium to other countries.
"Iranian officials have no intention of transferring enriched nuclear material abroad," said Ali Bagheri, Deputy for Foreign Policy Affairs of the Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, as quoted by the state news agency IRNA.
He said the negotiations that took place basically did not focus on the issue.
On the same day, the Kremlin reiterated its offer to process or store Iran's enriched uranium, in an effort to ease tensions between Tehran and Washington.
"This topic has long been on the agenda," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"Russia has long offered its services as one of the options that can eliminate a number of factors that cause tension for some countries," he said.
Tensions between Tehran and Washington have escalated since the outbreak of anti-government protests in Iran in late December. The situation was exacerbated by reports that the US military fleet was moving towards the region, as announced by President Donald Trump.
Trump confirmed that a "large fleet" of US military forces was heading to the region, while warning Iran to be willing to negotiate its nuclear program or face potential military action.
In recent days, diplomatic activity has increased, with a number of regional countries, including Turkiye, intervening to ease tensions between the two countries.
