Iran has tentatively agreed to relinquish its stockpile of highly enriched uranium as a key condition of an emerging nuclear agreement with the United States.
The New York Times reported this Saturday, citing two U.S. officials.
Tehran's Commitment Earlier that day, President Donald Trump said the U.S. was nearing a deal to end the hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments.
The news comes alongside a U.S. six-week naval blockade that has redirected over 100 commercial vessels from Iranian ports, ship-tracking data show, costing Tehran an estimated $435 million daily in economic damage.
Stockpile At The Center Of Talks The International Atomic Energy Agency estimates Iran holds about 970 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, far above the 20% level classified as highly enriched uranium and closer to the 90% plus grade needed for a nuclear weapon.
