Iran's Supreme Leader Directs Enriched Uranium Not to Be Sent Abroad, Complicating US Talks

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has directed that the country's highly enriched uranium not be sent abroad, creating a new obstacle in US-Iran peace talks. The US, led by Donald Trump, has demanded the uranium be sent out of the country as part of any agreement. Iran believes this would weaken its security against potential attacks from the US and Israel. Despite Pakistan's mediation, significant progress has not been made, with Iran demanding a permanent ceasefire and security guarantees.
