Iran Rules Out Nuclear Material Transfer
Ali Bagheri Kani, deputy for foreign policy at the secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, delivered the statement through a semi-official news outlet. His remarks directly counter recent overtures from Russia and Turkey, both of which had floated offers to host or process Iranian enriched nuclear materials as a mechanism to defuse regional hostilities.
The announcement arrives as diplomatic channels between Tehran and Washington show signs of thawing after prolonged estrangement.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed the government is currently examining "the details and general outlines of the potential initiation of negotiations with the United States," signaling possible engagement ahead.
High-level talks appear imminent. A U.S. online media outlet reported, citing two sources with knowledge of the matter, that U.S. President's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi are expected to meet on Friday in Istanbul to discuss a possible nuclear deal.
The diplomatic developments emerge following a phase of escalating military confrontations across West Asia, suggesting renewed international commitment to reviving stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
