Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei rejected transferring any enriched uranium out of the country. ZeroHedge reported that Rezaei stated the Islamic Republic would not remove a single atom of enriched nuclear material as part of any deal, while maintaining seven specific conditions that must be met before negotiating the nuclear file.
