PANews reported on April 20th that, according to Jinshi, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghae stated: "The topic of transferring Iran's enriched uranium stockpile to the United States or any other country has never been mentioned in any stage of negotiations, either now or previously. This option is simply not on the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The country's firm position is to retain its nuclear achievements within Iranian territory, and rumors regarding this area have been completely denied."
