Iran has no intention of sending its enriched uranium stockpile abroad not to third countries, not to middlemen, not anywhere a senior Iranian parliamentarian has made absolutely clear, dismissing the very premise of such speculation.

Iran Stands Firm Enriched Uranium Stays Inside the Country
Tehran’s top parliamentary voice on national security has drawn a hard line. Iran will not transfer its enriched uranium beyond its borders under any circumstances. The statement came directly from Ebrahim Azizi head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy.
“We have no plans whatsoever to move enriched uranium out of the country. Frankly, I don’t even understand where such questions come from. We have no intention of handing over our enriched uranium not to third countries, not to intermediaries, not to anyone else,” Azizi stated plainly.

A Sharp Pushback Against Speculation
The declaration serves as a pointed rebuttal to circulating reports and diplomatic speculation. Iran’s enriched uranium remains a central flashpoint especially amid ongoing tensions following military operations involving the United States and Israel. Azizi’s remarks leave no room for ambiguity. Iran’s nuclear assets stay on Iranian soil full stop.
The statement reflects Tehran’s broader posture one of firm resistance to outside pressure over its nuclear programme. Iran has repeatedly insisted its nuclear activities remain peaceful and sovereign. Any suggestion of transferring enriched uranium abroad whether under diplomatic deal or third-party custodianship gets rejected outright by the parliament.
Nuclear Sovereignty at the Core of Iran’s Position
Iran’s parliament has long been a hardline voice on nuclear matters. Azizi’s committee oversees the country’s most sensitive security decisions. His clarity on the enriched uranium question signals that whatever diplomatic talks may be underway parliament draws a firm red line here.
Tehran currently holds significant quantities of enriched uranium a stockpile that has grown steadily over recent years. Western nations and international watchdogs have repeatedly flagged concerns about the programme’s scope. Iran, however, frames it as a non-negotiable national right.
