Iran agrees to give up ‘nuclear dust’ stockpile in deal with Trump: report

Iran has reportedly agreed to give up its stockpile of enriched uranium as part of the deal announced by President Trump Saturday.

Tehran has agreed to a statement pledging to relinquish its cache of highly enriched uranium — believed to be enough to build 11 nuclear bombs — the New York Times reported, citing two American officials.

The disposal of the highly enriched uranium, which Trump refers to as “nuclear dust” was a major sticking point in negotiations between the United States and the Islamic Republic.

While Iran fought to address the status of its nuclear stockpile after an agreement to end the war had been reached, US officials threatened to resume bombing if they didn’t agree to give up their uranium, the outlet reported.
