National Security Committee

The spokesman for the National Security Committee in the Iranian Parliament:

We did not conquer the Strait of Hormuz through negotiations, so that now we will give it up through negotiations.

Esmail Khosari, member of Iran's National Security Committee:

Talks with Washington are ongoing but have produced no deal. "We know they will not lead to a result."

He called everything the U.S. president says "a lie" aimed at controlling global energy prices.

The nuclear issue "was never on the table and will not be." Iran says current talks focus on ending the war, compensation, U.S. withdrawal from the region, and lifting the naval blockade.

Head of Iran's National Security Committee in parliament: No plans to transfer enriched uranium abroad.

Ali Khasrian, member of Iran's National Security Committee: "The Iranian nuclear issue is closed and is not subject to negotiations."
