U.S. and Iran Remain Divided Over Uranium Enrichment Vice President JD Vance told Reuters that Iran must significantly reduce its uranium enrichment capabilities as a condition for ending the war. Vance questioned Iran's need for uranium enriched to 60%, saying Tehran must take meaningful steps to demonstrate that it does not intend to develop nuclear weapons. Iran's atomic energy chief, Mohammad Eslami, responded that Tehran will not surrender its right to enrich uranium or hand over its existing stockpile of enriched uranium. The statements highlight a major obstacle in ongoing U.S.–Iran negotiations.
