Iran says it could expel UN atomic watchdog inspectors or transfer enriched material to undisclosed locations if it faces military attack or continued external threats.

The comments were made by an adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, writing on X just hours after US President Donald Trump threatened military force if Tehran does not agree to a nuclear deal.
