Iran rejects moving enriched uranium abroad as US adds sanctions
Iran's security council secretary said no enriched uranium would leave the country, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he wants to overthrow Iran's government. The US Treasury sanctioned five individuals, four entities and nine vessels, and Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they would soon unveil a new weapon.
Why it matters
The stance on uranium is a central obstacle to any deal ending the regional war.
Background
Iran's nuclear program has been at the center of disputes with the US and Israel for two decades. US and Israeli strikes on Iran began earlier this year.
