Iran rejects US President Trump`s Uranium transfer claim

Iran has rejected claims by US President Donald Trump that it has agreed to transfer its enriched uranium to the United States, with its Foreign Ministry strongly dismissing the assertion, Al Jazeera reported.

Irans Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran would not allow such a move under any circumstances, according to Al Jazeera.

Enriched uranium is as sacred to us as Iranian soil and will not be transferred anywhere under any circumstances, Baghaei was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency, as per Al Jazeera.

His remarks come after US President Donald Trump has said that Iran has agreed to everything in ongoing talks with the United States, including a plan to jointly remove enriched uranium from Iran and transport it to the US, CNN reported.

Speaking to CBS, Trump ruled out deploying American troops, saying, No. No troops. He added, Well go down and get it with them, and then well take it.

Well be getting it together because by that time, well have an agreement, and theres no need for fighting when theres an agreement. Nice right? Thats better.

Trump said the US would continue its blockade of Iranian ports until we get it done and expressed confidence that a deal could be reached in the next day or two, with talks likely over the weekend, CNN reported.

He also claimed Iran had agreed to stop backing groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. In remarks to AFP, Trump said there are no sticking points left, adding, Were very close. Looks like its going to be very good for everybody.
