Iran has presented new stipulations for any conclusive deal with the United States, making it clear that its stockpile of enriched uranium must be processed within Iran instead of being sent overseas. The Iranian Foreign Minister stated that comprehensive nuclear discussions cannot advance until all aspects of the interim deal are met, which includes the removal of the US maritime blockade and cessation of hostilities. US intelligence suggests that Iran possesses approximately 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. The contention also involves control over the Strait of Hormuz, an essential route for global oil transportation. The upcoming weeks may be crucial in determining whether the current arrangement transforms into a sustainable peace agreement.
