US presses Iran to dismantle key nuclear sites in Geneva talks - WSJ
The United States entered nuclear talks with Iran in Geneva with demands that Tehran dismantle its main nuclear facilities and transfer its enriched uranium stockpile, officials familiar with the discussions told the Wall Street Journal.
According to the report, US negotiators were expected to make clear that sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan must be dismantled and that any agreement should not include sunset clauses. “Iran must dismantle its three main nuclear sites … and deliver all of its remaining enriched uranium to the US,” officials told the newspaper.
The officials also said Washington is insisting on zero enrichment, though it could allow Iran to operate a Tehran reactor at very low enrichment levels for medical purposes. The US is offering limited sanctions relief at the outset, with broader easing possible if Iran complies over time, the report said.
The talks come as President Donald Trump has warned of military action if no deal is reached, while Iran has said it would treat any attack as the start of a wider conflict.
