Former US admiral urges Iran to hand over nuclear material under any deal

Apr 12, 2026, 01:26 GMT+1

Retired US Vice Admiral Robert Harward said on Saturday Iran should be required to relinquish uranium-related materials and accept strict international oversight as part of any future nuclear agreement, arguing such steps are necessary to prevent weaponization.

Speaking on Newsmax TV’s “Saturday Agenda,” Harward said US negotiators should seek commitments from Tehran that go beyond limiting enrichment, including transferring nuclear material and agreeing to binding restrictions on both nuclear and missile programs.

“Sure they can,” he said when asked whether Iran could give up uranium-related capabilities, adding: “I think that should be part of the negotiations.”
