Iran floats enrichment pause in exchange for sanctions relief - WSJ
Iran has floated pausing uranium enrichment for up to three years, moving some of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium abroad and striking business deals with the United States to advance nuclear talks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The proposals stop short of a full halt to enrichment, a key demand of US President Donald Trump, the report said.
According to the newspaper, Iran has indicated it is open to sending part of its stockpile to an outside party such as Russia and has discussed potential cooperation in oil, gas, mining and aviation if sanctions are lifted.
US officials have not detailed what sanctions relief could be offered, and broad-based relief is not currently under consideration, the report said.
