"Trump's negotiators, including vice president JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff, initially received approvals for a 'cash for uranium' deal, which would involve the US releasing $20 billion in frozen funds in exchange for Iran's enriched uranium stockpile."
"The current negotiations center on Iran handing over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and a moratorium on further enrichment for 12 to 15 years, with the US offering sanctions relief and gradual release of frozen funds."
"Despite the framework being similar to what was previously rejected, some advisers believe Trump's decision will depend on how much he desires a deal, as he has expressed opposition to sending money to Iran."
Negotiators for President Trump are working to persuade him to accept a previously rejected 'cash for uranium' deal with Iran. The proposal involves the US releasing $20 billion in frozen funds in exchange for Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and a moratorium on further enrichment for 12 to 15 years. Despite initial approvals, Trump withdrew support due to concerns about perceptions of giving cash to Iran. Current negotiations mirror earlier discussions, and Trump's willingness to accept the framework may depend on his desire for a deal.
