Iran live updates: Tehran has 'no plans' for new round of talks, spokesperson says

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei denied that Iran's enriched uranium would be handed over to the U.S. in an interview on Iranian state TV.

"Iran's enriched uranium is not going to be transferred anywhere under any circumstances," he said.

He also referred to the reports that Iran would cease to enrich uranium as "part of a media campaign that has been launched to influence the negotiators and the negotiating table."

President Donald Trump said he believes U.S. and Iran peace talks will "probably take place over the weekend," telling Axios that he thinks a deal could be secured "in the next day or two."

"The Iranians want to meet. They want to make a deal. I think a meeting will probably take place over the weekend. I think we will get a deal in the next day or two," Trump reportedly said.

The president also said he is "not gonna allow" Israel to bomb Lebanon, following Thursday's announcement of a 10-day ceasefire between the two countries.

"Israel has to stop. They can't continue to blow buildings up. I am not gonna allow it," Trump said, according to Axios.

Iran has agreed to an "unlimited" suspension of their nuclear ambitions, President Donald Trump said in a phone interview with Bloomberg on Friday.

"No years, unlimited," Trump reportedly said when asked if Iran agreed to 20 years or an indefinite suspension.

The president also said the U.S. will not release any frozen Iranian funds, according to Bloomberg.

The U.S. and Iran will work together to get the enriched uranium from Iran and bring it back to America, President Donald Trump told Reuters in a phone interview Friday.

"We're going to get it together. We're going to go in with Iran, at a nice leisurely pace, and go down and start excavating with big machinery ... We'll bring it back to the United States," Trump said, according to Reuters.

According to the article, the president did not expand on exactly who would retrieve that nuclear material and how, raising questions about whether such an operation might call for ground troops.
