A senior American official said Iran has declared it will destroy its stockpile of enriched uranium, and that sanctions relief could follow if a final agreement is reached and the Iranians, in his words, “behave properly.”
He also warned that if no deal is reached, President Donald Trump “will not hesitate to use the tools at his disposal.” According to the official, the meeting this weekend is critical to the continuation of the talks.
The official said a memorandum of understanding has already been signed, but stressed that both sides can still walk away from it before a binding agreement is completed. The remarks suggest the negotiations remain open despite the existence of a preliminary framework.
