Trump's Version of "US-Iran Deal" Includes Iran Abandoning Uranium Enrichment

BlockBeats News, May 24th - According to The New York Times, two American officials revealed that a key element of the proposed agreement between Iran and the United States is that Tehran has explicitly committed to relinquishing its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. White House officials did not respond to a request for comment. President Trump stated on Saturday that the United States is on the verge of reaching an agreement with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. However, he did not provide any details, and it is currently unclear what obstacles the agreement may still face.

U.S. officials stated that the proposal does not address the specific issue of how Iran will abandon its stockpile, and the details will be left for discussion in the next round of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program. However, Iran's commitment to taking this step (a long-standing U.S. goal) is crucial to the agreement overall, especially at a time when the entire agreement may face scrutiny from Republican lawmakers in Congress. Iran has not yet made any public statements regarding the agreement announced by Trump.
