Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran will not allow any enriched nuclear material to leave the country, according to remarks on Tuesday to Al Mayadeen TV and IRNA. He warned that any new US attack would bring consequences, including strikes on American military bases far from Iran. The remarks came after US officials downplayed the need for additional military action against Iran, and analysts noted a more conciliatory tone from President Donald Trump. Rezaei's statement reinforces Tehran's position that its enriched stockpile will stay inside the country while tensions with Washington remain unresolved.
