US Envoy Says Iran Claimed Uranium Stockpile Enough for 11 Nuclear Bombs During Talks

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff stated that during nuclear talks, Iranian negotiators claimed to possess 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent, sufficient for about 11 nuclear bombs. Iran asserted an "inalienable right" to enrich uranium, while the US emphasized its intent to prevent nuclear weapon development. The US maintains it destroyed key Iranian nuclear facilities last year, though Iran's uranium stockpile remains. Negotiations reportedly failed due to Iran's refusal to halt its nuclear and missile programs amid ongoing regional tensions.
