Overview
- President Trump said the U.S. will secure Iran’s enriched uranium and bring it to the United States without paying Tehran.
- He outlined a joint retrieval with Iran using heavy equipment he called "many diggers" and referred to the material as "atomic dust."
- Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Bakaei said the uranium will not be transferred anywhere, directly disputing Trump’s claim.
- A diplomat told the Associated Press that China has signaled it could take custody of the stock or dilute it if Washington and Tehran agree, a possibility not confirmed by either government.
- The talks focus on removing the stockpile and imposing a 20-year pause on nuclear work, a U.S. demand shaped by IAEA findings that Iran enriches to 60 percent, far above typical reactor fuel.
