Iran suggests it could dilute highly enriched uranium for sanctions relief
AI Summary
Iran's atomic energy chief, Mohammad Eslami, stated that Iran is open to diluting its 60-percent-enriched uranium if the United States lifts sanctions. This announcement was made as Ali Larijani, head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, prepared to travel to Oman for mediated negotiations between the US and Iran. Diluting the uranium, which is close to weapons grade, would hinge on the removal of sanctions, though it's unclear if Iran expects all sanctions to be lifted or specifically those imposed by the US. The US has previously demanded a total ban on enrichment, which Iran rejects, asserting its right to a civilian nuclear program under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Both the US and Iran have expressed mixed signals regarding the progress of these negotiations.
