Iran Tightens Security Around Near-Bomb-Grade Uranium Amid U.S.-Iran Talks
Iran has fortified its stockpile of enriched uranium near bomb-grade level by collapsing tunnels and placing explosive mines at entrances, a move reported as part of ongoing U.S.-Iran talks about relinquishing the material. While U.S. and Reuters reports suggest a deal to dismantle parts of Iran’s nuclear program and allow the U.S. to collect the uranium, details on how removal would work and verification remain unclear. Experts warn that fortifications could complicate verification and raise concerns about irretrievable portions of the uranium.
