Iran Rejects US Uranium Transfer Proposal | JQJO

Iran is resisting a US proposal to move its enriched uranium stockpile to a third country, a key obstacle in talks aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program. Initial indirect talks, mediated by Oman, involved Iranian and US officials. Further talks are scheduled in Rome, hosted by Italy, a move seen as marginalizing other European powers. Iran wants to keep the stockpile under IAEA supervision, viewing it as insurance against future US withdrawal from any agreement. The talks also address potential investment in Iran, and the issue of Iranian regional influence, a point of contention with Israel and some US hawks.
