What Happened
The US and Iran are negotiating uranium enrichment limits as part of broader nuclear talks. The US insists Iran suspend enrichment for twenty years in exchange for sanctions relief. Iran refuses, offering only a five-year moratorium. High-level teams met in Islamabad but failed to reach agreement. Iran currently possesses 440kg of uranium enriched to sixty percent, enough theoretically for over ten nuclear warheads, according to IAEA officials.
