US President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed to transfer highly enriched uranium reserves to Washington, which remain a key issue in negotiations between the parties. About this reports The Washington Post.
He said the matter was so-called “nuclear dust,” a designation he uses to describe Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium that the IAEA estimates was dumped after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites in the summer of 2025.
“Iran does not have nuclear weapons, and they agreed to that.” They agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that is deep underground,” Trump told reporters.
However, the US President did not provide details of the possible transfer of uranium.
The Iranian side has not yet confirmed its readiness to discuss such conditions during negotiations with the Americans or Pakistani negotiators.
Trump also said that Washington and Tehran are “very close” to concluding a peace agreement, emphasizing that the United States intends to completely prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Previously, the American side insisted on freezing the Iranian uranium enrichment program, including the abandonment of stocks of highly enriched material. At the same time, Tehran says its nuclear program is peaceful and the right to enrich uranium is “indisputable,” although the level of enrichment can be discussed.
At the same time, on Friday night a 10-day truce between Israel and Lebanon, and Trump said he expected the leaders of both countries to arrive at the White House in the coming days.
Recently, Pakistan Army Commander Asim Munir visited Tehran, where he held meetings with the Iranian leadership to discuss the continuation of the negotiation process between Iran and the United States.
