Iranian officials say Iran will not hand over any of its enriched uranium, and that not a single particle of nuclear material will leave the country as part of a peace agreement with the United States. A Foreign Ministry official told Breitbart in an interview that no deal could require the stockpile to be surrendered, calling the idea “off the table.” The Washington Times and NewsNation report the same refusal, and CBS News quotes Iran vowing not to give up “a single particle” of nuclear material. Trump has cited Iran’s nuclear program as the core reason for going to war, and Iran’s position was stated on Wednesday.
