Iran Has A ‘Nuclear Bomb Button’? Trump ‘Seeks Report’, Israel ‘Wary’ As US Hints At Letting Tehran… – News18

The US president’s Middle East envoy appears to use a key component of the 2015 Iran deal as a reference point for the current talks he’s holding with Tehran. That deal, which Trump abandoned in 2018, barred Iran from enriching its uranium beyond 3.67%.Iran “do[es] not need to enrich past 3.67%. In some circumstances. They’re at 60%, in other circumstances 20%. That cannot be,” Witkoff told Fox News, “You do not need to run — as they claim — a civil nuclear programme where you’re enriching past 3.67%”, Witkoff added.Analysts say that Witkoff’s remarks indicate that the US is looking to limit Iran’s uranium enrichment rather than dismantle its nuclear programme altogether Earlier this month, Donald Trump, while hosting the Israeli PM in Washington, had vowed to dismantle Tehran’s nuclear programme.Meanwhile, Witkoff also said the next round of talks with Iran will focus on “verification on the enrichment programme That includes missiles — the type of missiles that they have stockpiled there. And it includes the trigger for a bomb”His comments came just days after the highest-level Iran-US negotiations took place in Oman on April 12 since the collapse of the 2015 nuclear accord. The talks included a “direct” conversation between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi. 3 n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:02 NETANYAHU ‘IN DARK’ ABOUT TRUMP’S IRAN STRATEGY5:38 NEXT ROUND OF TALKS WITH US IN OMAN OR ROME?
