Story summary

On November 11, 2026, Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei declared that no enriched nuclear material will leave the country and warned of retaliation if the US strikes again. Speaking to Lebanon's pro-Iranian Al Mayadeen TV, Rezaei said this after US officials downplayed the need for further military action against Iran following President Donald Trump's more conciliatory tone since Republicans' defeat in the November 3 midterm elections. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) estimated that Iran had 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to 60% prior to attacks by Israel and the US in June 2025, a level far beyond what is needed for civilian use. Reports indicate that Iran's Supreme Leader has issued a directive preventing near-weapons-grade uranium from being exported abroad.
