The United States has reportedly laid down five major conditions during ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran, focusing on strict uranium controls, long-term limits on enrichment, international monitoring, and transfer of highly enriched uranium outside Iran. The talks remain tense after Iran proposed sending part of its uranium stockpile to a third country while demanding guarantees for its return if negotiations collapse. Former US President Donald Trump earlier rejected Tehran’s 14-point peace proposal, calling it unacceptable. Iran has resisted dismantling nuclear facilities and warned of retaliation if pressured militarily, keeping West Asia tensions high amid stalled diplomatic progress.
