Speaking to Iranian media, Alaeddin Boroujerdi dismissed international demands for Iran to ship out its current stockpile of enriched uranium, calling such suggestions “worthless.”
Following US-Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, including nuclear sites last month, Boroujerdi added, “From now on, we will enrich uranium based on our needs without accepting any preconditions.”
While asserting Iran’s right to pursue high-level enrichment for civilian and industrial purposes, Boroujerdi reaffirmed the country’s longstanding red line: the development of nuclear weapons.
“The only red line is building a nuclear bomb, and that is because of the Leader’s fatwa prohibiting such weapons,” he said.
Boroujerdi criticized past US policies, referring to “zero enrichment” expectations as an illusion under US President Donald Trump.
