Iran will not permit any enriched nuclear material to leave its borders, according to a statement made by Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei during televised remarks broadcast on Lebanon's Al Mayadeen TV.
Rezaei also warned that any new United States military strikes against Iran would result in consequences, including potential attacks on distant US bases. The security chief added that there are currently no active negotiations underway between Tehran and Washington.
According to two senior Iranian sources, Iran's Supreme Leader previously issued a directive stating that near-weapons-grade uranium should not be exported. Western nations, along with the US and Israel, have long alleged that Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons—an allegation that Tehran consistently denies.
