US EditionIran claimed to have enough uranium for 11 nuclear bombs, US envoy Witkoff says
Iran claimed possession of 460 kg of 60% enriched uranium, enough for 11 bombs, leading to a breakdown in Geneva talks and subsequent US-Israel military strikes.
- Last Thursday in Geneva, negotiations collapsed after Iranian officials asserted they would enrich uranium toward weapons use, and the U.S. delegation briefed President Donald Trump immediately after.
- Iranian negotiators insisted on an undeniable right to enrich all uranium, while U.S. negotiators demanded a ten-year enrichment halt proposal and offered to supply nuclear fuel, which Iran dismissed.
- Two Iranian negotiators acknowledged roughly 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent, and Witkoff said they appeared proud, boasting of bypassing international monitoring.
- The U.S. delegation briefed President Trump after negotiations ended with no deal, and a senior official said Trump was reportedly surprised, Witkoff said.
- High-Level actors including the U.S. envoy made the rupture notable as Witkoff recounted telling Araghchi `If you prefer, I can leave.` while President Trump sent envoys to test Iran's seriousness.
