Iran’s top security official says all enriched nuclear material will remain inside the country, rejecting any possibility of transferring it abroad, as negotiations with the United States remain stalled over trust-building measures.

Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), made the remarks during a meeting with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir in Tehran on Tuesday.

“All enriched nuclear material will remain in Iran, and not a single particle will leave the country,” General Rezaei said. “This material is a great asset and national wealth for the Iranian people to use domestically.”

The Iranian people and officials are united in the view that no negotiations will take place until the United States builds trust by fulfilling Iran’s conditions, he said.

General Rezaei also emphasized the brotherly relations between Iranians and Pakistanis.

For his part, General Asim Munir said the border issue between Iran and Pakistan has been resolved and that the crossings was reopened as of Tuesday morning.

“We declare clearly that the problem on the Iran-Pakistan border has been resolved, and the border has been reopened since this morning,” Munir said.

The Pakistani army chief praised the Iranian armed forces’ defense and resilience during the 40-day war, emphasizing regional cooperation between the two countries without the presence of foreign forces.

Rezaei fires back at US ‘civilizational war’ narrative with reminder of Rome’s defeat

Major General Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), has invoked the ancient defeat of Rome by Sasanian king Shapur I to counter an attempt by US officials to frame the aggression against Iran as a civilizational war.

Rezaei's comments come as, according to reports, Washington has demanded the transfer of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium in its latest proposal.

Tehran has consistently rejected the idea, insisting on its right to peaceful nuclear technology under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The 40-day war, which began on February 28, with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, further complicated diplomatic efforts. Iran was in the middle of indirect talks with the US in June last year to resolve misunderstandings over its peaceful nuclear program when it came under unprovoked acts of aggression by the US and the Israeli regime.

A fragile ceasefire and a subsequent memorandum of understanding have failed to produce a lasting agreement.

Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator in the war, hosting indirect talks and maintaining close relations with Tehran and Washington alike.
