NEW YORK (VINnews) — Iran has agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium as part of the emerging agreement between it and the United States, two official American sources told The New York Times on Saturday night.

According to those sources, the current proposal on the table does not specify how the uranium stockpile would be relinquished, and discussion of those details has been postponed to the next round of talks on the nuclear program.

The report says that the government in Iran initially refused to include any commitment regarding the uranium in the first phase of the agreement. However, U.S. representatives made clear through mediators that without an explicit agreement on the fate of the stockpile already in the initial stage of the deal, they would resume military operations against the country.

The Pakistani proposal that was raised also includes extending the ceasefire by 60 days, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the blockade on Iranian ports, removing restrictions on frozen Iranian funds, and including Lebanon in the agreement. Some of these issues are still far from finalized, but the Pakistanis claim there has been progress in the talks.

The White House declined to comment on the report. The Iranians have also not yet publicly confirmed the reports that they would agree to give up their stockpile of enriched uranium.

The Iranian news agency Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with the regime, stated that the reports about an Iranian proposal to halt uranium enrichment for 10 years are “completely false.” According to the same source, “The messages and discussions at the current stage concern only ending the war. No details regarding the nuclear issue are being discussed.”

In addition, the agency wrote that “Washington will commit to lifting sanctions imposed on Iranian oil during the negotiation period, a move that would allow Iran to sell its oil without restrictions during that time. If the initial understanding is approved by both sides, a memorandum of understanding will first be announced, emphasizing the end of the war on all fronts, including Lebanon. After that, a 30-day period will be examined for implementing steps related to the naval blockade and the Strait of Hormuz, while at the same time a 60-day period will be defined for negotiations on the nuclear issue.”

The report comes just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that “significant progress has been made toward a broad agreement with Iran.”

Trump’s announcement followed a conference call he held from the Oval Office with a series of Middle Eastern and Muslim world leaders, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, King Abdullah II, and other senior officials.

According to Trump, “An agreement has already been largely negotiated,” and is subject only to final understandings between the United States, Iran, and the other countries involved. Trump added that he also spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that the conversation “went very well.”

Trump also said that “the final details of the deal are currently under discussion and will be announced soon,” noting that one of the central clauses in the understandings is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to free navigation.
