Deputy Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Bagheri, who has travelled to the Russian capital of Moscow on Tuesday to take part in 14th International Security Forum, said on Wednesday while talking to journalists on the sidelines of the forum that enriched uranium stockpiles are not on agenda of the nuclear talks. "This ishue is not on agemda of talks."
Prior to Bagheri's remarks, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei had stated regarding the fate of 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, “It os very clear when it comes to nuclear issues. We are a member of the NPT and as a member, we have the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.”
Baghaei continued: “We have also made our positions very clear regarding Iran’s highly enriched uranium. If we want to discuss the details of these issues at this stage, we will not be able to conclude the talks. Because we have already gone this route and the differences of opinion were so beg that we were unable to conclude them.”
In response to a question about whether an agreement has been reached between Iran and the United States on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the Deputy Secretary of the SNSC said: "Until we reach an agreement on all issues, we think we have not reached an agreement on anything."
Bagheri also said, "Iran and Omanas neighboring coastal countries, are jointly negotiating a new mehchanism for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz."
He emphasized: "The conditions and procedures for passing through the Strait of Hormuz will be completely different from the conditions before the conflict over Iran began."
