U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said that Washington had offered to sell Iran uranium for a civilian nuclear programme, but Tehran refused to accept the arrangement.
According to Waltz, the United States proposed a deal in which it would supply enriched uranium to Iran for peaceful, non‑military uses.
The Iranian side, he added, declined to agree to the proposed supply arrangement.
The offer and Iran’s rejection come against the backdrop of longstanding international concern over Iran’s nuclear activities, which have been the subject of diplomatic negotiations and sanctions.
No further details about the terms of the offer or the reasons for Iran’s refusal were disclosed, and both parties have not indicated any immediate change in their positions.
