Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday rejected U.S. demands that Tehran hand over all its enriched nuclear material, calling the proposal “unacceptable.”

His remarks came as nuclear talks collapsed, raising fears of renewed confrontation. The dispute has intensified ahead of sweeping UN sanctions that could soon be reimposed on Iran, further isolating the country.

Washington insists Iran’s enriched uranium poses a proliferation risk, while Tehran maintains it has the right to peaceful nuclear development.

Observers warn that the deadlock could spark a new phase of tensions in the Middle East.
