Iranian foreign ministry spokesman says they have not yet decided to participate in a new round of negotiations with Washington and transferring highly enriched uranium is not an option, and reducing concentration is an option on the table, via Al Jazeera

The comments from the Iranian foreign ministry reflect ongoing tensions and uncertainty regarding nuclear negotiations with the U.S. By stating that transferring highly enriched uranium is off the table, Iran signals a hardline stance, which could escalate geopolitical risks, particularly affecting oil prices and market sentiment towards regional stability. Investors should watch for market reactions in energy sectors and safe-haven assets as developments unfold.
