Iran dismisses uranium transfer claim

Iran's semi-official Fars news agency on Friday rejected a report by Saudi-owned Al Arabiya network that Tehran has agreed to transfer its enriched uranium to a third country.

Citing an informed source close to the Iranian negotiating team, Fars said nuclear issues were basically not on the current agenda of the talks between Tehran and Washington aimed at ending the war, and would only be discussed at later stages.

The denial follows an earlier report that Iran has informed Pakistan of its acceptance to transfer part of its enriched uranium to a third country.

The source stressed that such a transfer is not being discussed, adding that the United States must take "clear and definitive" actions before "final agreements on some fundamental issues" can be reached.
