Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday (September 27, 2025) said Washington had demanded that Tehran hand over all its enriched uranium in return for a three-month reprieve from sanctions, rejecting this as “unacceptable”.

The United States “wants us to hand over all our enriched uranium to them, and in return they would give us three months” exemption from sanctions,” Mr. Pezeshkian told reporters in New York before leaving for Tehran. “This is by no means acceptable.”
