Iran’s stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium is the number one issue separating the U.S. and Iran. “We will get it. We don’t need it, we don’t want it. We’ll probably destroy it after we get it, but we’re not going to let them have it,” President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House, reported Reuters.
The Tehran’s position remains that it will downblend the uranium to a lower level of enrichment. A senior Iranian official denied, a separate Reuters report claiming that Iran’s supreme leader, Mujtaba Khamenei, issued a directive that the country’s near-weapons-grade uranium should not be sent abroad. The official told Al Jazeera journalist Ali Hashem that such reports are “"propaganda by the enemies of the deal.”
The official added there are “no new order has been issued,” and that Tehran’s position has been consistent: Iran would downblend the material itself. “That is the subject of talks in the next stage,” the official said.
The second issue is Iran’s charging of tolls for passage through they Strait of Hormuz.
