Iran has reportedly agreed to hand over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium as part of the agreement announced Saturday by President Donald Trump.
According to The New York Times, citing two U.S. officials, Tehran signed off on a statement committing to give up the uranium reserve material believed to be capable of producing as many as 11 nuclear weapons.
The uranium issue had become one of the biggest obstacles in negotiations between the United States and Iran.
Trump has previously referred to the material as “nuclear dust,” while U.S. officials reportedly pushed Iran to fully surrender the stockpile before any final agreement could move forward.
The report said Iranian officials resisted those demands during the final phase of talks, even after an agreement to end the conflict had largely been reached.
