CNN: Washington insists on restricting Iran's uranium enrichment during Geneva talks

CNN reported, citing informed sources, that American negotiators insisted during the Geneva talks with the Iranian side on imposing strict restrictions on Iran's uranium enrichment, as part of efforts to reach a new agreement regarding the nuclear program.

The sources mentioned that the American delegation, led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, demanded the dismantling of Iran's main nuclear facilities, emphasizing that any agreement to halt nuclear enrichment must last indefinitely, subjecting the Iranian nuclear program to a long-term verification mechanism.

The sources also clarified that the talks focused on bridging the gaps related to uranium enrichment and trying to determine whether the Iranian proposal meets the demands of U.S. President Donald Trump.

CNN quoted American officials as saying that Washington is still uncertain about Iran's position on several outstanding issues, questioning whether the Iranian leader will agree to the proposed conditions, even if his negotiating team has shown initial willingness to do so.

These developments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach an understanding that limits escalation and reorients the trajectory of the Iranian nuclear file.
