US-Iran Agreement Requires Iran to Downblend Highly Enriched Uranium Under IAEA Oversight

Analysed 18 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Tehran, Iran·Politics
US-Iran Agreement Requires Iran to Downblend Highly Enriched Uranium Under IAEA OversightPreviousNext

The US-Iran agreement includes a key provision requiring Iran to downblend its approximately 440 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60%, reducing its concentration under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision. This measure aims to limit Iran's nuclear weapons potential while allowing it to retain the uranium stockpile. The clause is central to the deal's success, balancing non-proliferation concerns with Iran's interests amid broader efforts to ease sanctions and reduce regional tensions.
