Iran agrees to stop enriching uranium, Trump says

Iran has agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, Donald Trump has claimed, saying the US is "close" to a peace deal to end the war, Report informs via The Telegraph.

"They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust," Trump told reporters outside the White House, referring to the estimated 450kg of uranium enriched to 60 per cent.

Iran has not responded to Trump's claims. What happens to the uranium stockpile has been the central sticking point in negotiations since talks collapsed in Islamabad last week.

Tehran offered to halt any further enrichment for five years, while the US insisted on a 20-year freeze.
