The United States has declared that the handover of Iran's highly enriched uranium reserves is an essential prerequisite for any conclusive agreement, while inspections by the IAEA in Iran have been on hold since the June 2025 US-Israeli military actions. Rafael Grossi cautioned that any agreement lacking inspection clauses is merely a “false sense of an agreement.” The UK, France, and Germany are supporting the US's call for complete denuclearization. The framework for negotiations stipulates that discussions on nuclear matters should commence within 30 to 60 days following an extension of the ceasefire, yet Iran has yet to affirm its willingness to negotiate the uranium transfer.
