Ismail Baghaei, spokesperson of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Al Mayadeen that the removal of “enriched uranium” from Iran is “by no means” being discussed, and that there is no justification for such an action.

On Monday, 18 Aban, Baghaei also said that the continuation of the United States’ threats against nuclear facilities makes inspections of damaged facilities unjustified.

The foreign ministry spokesperson added: “The International Atomic Energy Agency does not currently have any mechanism or protocol for inspecting damaged nuclear facilities.”
