Iran’s security chief Rezaei told Lebanon’s leadership that Tehran is developing nuclear-powered ships and submarines and therefore needs its enriched materials, according to a First Squawk tweet. The remark ties Iran’s enrichment program to naval propulsion rather than weapons, framing continued uranium enrichment as a practical energy requirement. It matters because Tehran has repeatedly used civilian justifications to defend enrichment activity in nuclear negotiations. The statement signals Iran will resist curbs on enrichment capacity. Watch next for follow-up comments from Lebanese officials and any response from Western negotiators.
