US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said Washington had offered to sell Iran uranium for a civilian nuclear programme under an arrangement involving international-law and inspection obligations. He said the Trump administration could permit a civilian programme if Iran gave up access to highly enriched uranium and the ability to reconstitute it.
Why it matters
The statement sets out a US negotiating position that would allow Iranian civil nuclear activity but require Tehran to surrender or forgo highly enriched uranium, a central decision point for any renewed talks.
