Iran will not allow enriched nuclear material to leave the country

Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei stated that no enriched nuclear material will leave the country, warning of consequences for any new U.S. attacks. Following U.S. officials' comments downplaying military action against Iran, Rezaei emphasized that any further U.S. aggression would be met with responses against American bases. Iran's Supreme Leader has ordered that uranium, close to weapon-grade levels, must not be exported. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned a U.S. reward for information on Iran's nuclear program as 'repugnant.' The ongoing conflict between Iran and the U.S. escalated after joint attacks in February, with Iran demanding the lifting of sanctions in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials criticized U.S. military threats, asserting that their missile and drone industries remain operational despite attacks.
