Iran agrees in principle to give up enriched uraniumgive up enriched uranium
Iran has agreed in principle to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in a proposed deal with the United States, according to US officials and reports on Sunday.
The agreement is still being finalized, and it matters because it could ease tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and shape wider regional security talks.
US Officials
US officials described the uranium commitment as a key part of the proposed agreement and said negotiations have moved close to completion. They present the deal as a possible step toward reducing a major nuclear standoff.
Trump Administration
A senior Trump administration official said Iran has agreed in principle to dispose of the material, while Donald Trump has also warned against rushing a final deal. The administration’s public message suggests the talks are advanced but still open to last-minute changes.
