Iran ready to dilute its enriched uranium if 'all sanctions are lifted'
Iran is open to diluting its enriched uranium to 60 percent if the US lifts all sanctions, according to the head of its Atomic Energy Organization.
Iran has expressed readiness to dilute its enriched uranium, which is currently at a level of 60 percent, contingent upon the lifting of all sanctions by the United States. Mohammad Eslami, head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, indicated during a statement that the decision to dilute this uranium depends on whether the US fulfills the requirement of removing all sanctions imposed on Iran. However, Eslami did not clarify if this refers solely to US sanctions or includes those imposed by other countries as well.
The remarks come amidst ongoing discussions between Iran and the United States, marking a significant moment in the negotiation landscape concerning Iran's nuclear program. The possibility of Iran diluting its enriched uranium suggests a willingness to de-escalate tensions related to nuclear enrichment activities, which have been a focal point of international concern and scrutiny.
This development could have broader implications for the nuclear deal negotiations and regional stability, especially given the pivotal role the US plays in sanction enforcement. Should the US agree to lift sanctions, it could lead to renewed diplomatic relations with Iran, a key player in Middle Eastern geopolitics, and may reshape the dynamics involved in future dialogues surrounding nuclear proliferation and security in the region.
