Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Monday, Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the issue of transferring Iran's enriched uranium abroad "has never been raised as an option for us in negotiations."
He emphasized that "just as the land of Iran is considered sacred, so too is its enriched uranium."
He added that "both Iranian lives and Iranian assets are sacred, stressing that everything produced through the efforts, sacrifices, and blood of the Iranian people has such status."
The spokesman noted that "Iran's nuclear potential is a symbol of national determination and efforts to achieve scientific heights," arguing that if it were not valuable, "enemies would not have committed so many crimes against Iran."
Baghaei stressed that "the protection of these achievements is critical for the country."
As Al Jazeera notes, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also stated that the government has no plans for a new round of negotiations after the United States seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
