US-Iran Nuclear Talks Stall Over Uranium Stockpile and Related Disputes

Negotiations between the United States and Iran over Iran's nuclear program have stalled primarily due to disagreements on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. The US demands strict limits, including removal or transfer of uranium and a 20-year halt on enrichment, citing security concerns. Iran rejects transferring uranium abroad, viewing it as a sovereign right and strategic asset, and offers only a limited 3-5 year suspension. Additional disputes involve sanctions relief, missile programs, regional influence, and access to the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to the ongoing deadlock.
