IRAN NATIONAL SECURITY CHIEF SAYS NOT A SINGLE PARTICLE OF ENRICHED URANIUM WILL GO OUT
Iran's national security chief rules out any enriched uranium leaving the country.
Context
What happened: Iran's SNSC secretary Mohsen Rezaei said all enriched nuclear material will stay in Iran and none will be transferred abroad, speaking in Tehran with Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir.
Key numbers: 40-day war began February 28; Iran was in indirect US talks in June last year.
Why it matters: The remark rejects reports that Washington sought transfer of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, as talks remain stalled over trust-building and a fragile ceasefire has not produced a lasting agreement.
