Iran just cracked the door open on one of the most sensitive topics in international diplomacy. Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC that Tehran is prepared to put its uranium enrichment program and stockpile on the negotiating table in the next phase of talks with the United States.
What Iran is actually offering
Takht-Ravanchi’s comments were carefully calibrated. He confirmed that Iran holds over 400 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, a figure that puts the country uncomfortably close to weapons-grade material in the eyes of Western governments.
Dilution of that stockpile is now on the table as a potential concession. In plain terms: Iran could blend down its high-enriched uranium to lower concentrations, effectively walking back its nuclear progress in exchange for sanctions relief.
“If they are ready to talk about sanctions, we are ready to discuss this and other issues related to our nuclear program.”
