WANA (May 25) – Saudi-owned media outlet Al Hadath recently claimed that “Iranian sources” had told the network that Tehran was prepared to transfer highly enriched uranium out of the country — a claim that subsequent inquiries indicate is false and part of a broader media narrative surrounding the negotiations.

 

According to information obtained, contrary to Al Hadath’s report, the current draft understanding under discussion contains no clause related to the removal of nuclear materials from Iran. Sources familiar with the matter say Iran has not committed to any nuclear-related measures within the framework of the proposed agreement.

 

Further inquiries also indicate that Al Hadath’s assertion that the information came from “Iranian sources” is inaccurate, and that such claims were published without any identifiable or verifiable sourcing.

 

Observers view the circulation of such reports as part of a psychological and media campaign aimed at influencing the atmosphere of the negotiations — a tactic that has surfaced repeatedly during previous rounds of nuclear talks.
