Here's Where the U.S., Iran Stand on the Regime's Enriched Uranium -- WSJ

Dow Jones05:20

By Robbie Gramer, Laurence Norman and Summer Said

The central issue that has hung over Iranian talks with the U.S. since Trump returned to office last year remains unresolved, officials say: Iran's future enrichment of uranium. The U.S. had pushed for a permanent end to Iran's enrichment program but last week was open to accepting a 20-year Iranian suspension of the program. For Trump, going any lower would make a deal appear similar to the 2015 nuclear deal that he has long lambasted. That accord prevented Iran from producing enriched uranium above 3.67% for 15 years.

Nonetheless, officials close to the talks say that some flexibility has appeared over the issue in recent days, with Tehran exploring if Washington would be open to it carrying out some enrichment-related work after 10 years. One proposal under consideration among the mediators would see Iran suspend enrichment for a decade and then permit Tehran to produce a modest amount of low-enriched uranium for at least another 10 years.
