Trump envoy says Iran has to give up the ability to enrich the nuclear enrichment

President Trump's chief -iran negotiator provided the significant description of the gain in negotiations on the government's nuclear program and said on Sunday that Tehran had to give up the entire enrichment of nuclear fuel.

Members of the administration, including Mr. Trump himself, have been vague for weeks as to whether Iran can create an ability to produce uranium – even for supposedly commercial purposes, the nuclear power plants that Iran operated. When Mr. Trump pulled out the last nuclear agreement with Iran in 2018, he argued that the Obama government had made a big mistake by maintaining Iran, to maintain modest enrichment functions, which since then produced fuel that was near weapon levels.

But Mr. Trump's envoys in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, told ABCS “this week” on Sunday that the enrichment for the administration was “a very, very clear red line”.

“We cannot have this because the enrichment enables weapons, and we won't allow a bomb come here,” he said. Even “1 percent of an enrichment ability” would be too much, he said.

Mr. Witkoff said he expected to meet Iran again for a fourth trial, at some point this week in Europe. Officials say he expects an overview of an agreement that the United States would have transferred to Iran in the past few days.

Iran argues that he has a right to enrichment within the framework of the Nuclear distribution agreement that has entered into force since 1970 and said that he would never give up the right to enrich. Mr. Witkoff seems to look for a middle ground, and it is not clear what this compromise could be.

Above all, however, Mr. Witkoff was not on the interview that Iran destroys its main enrichment centers in Natanz and Fordow, including one that was built deep under a mountain. This leaves open the possibility that Iran could claim that he has the right to enrich himself without training this right.
