Which includes destroying all three of Iran’s nuclear plants (Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan). Apart from this, the US has set a condition for Iran to hand over all its enriched uranium to America.
Third round meeting in Geneva
Due to the mediation of Oman, the third round of talks between Iran and the US is going on in Geneva. US President Donald Trump has given an ultimatum to Iran that if no agreement is reached between the two countries on a nuclear deal, then Iran will have to face serious consequences. At the same time, Iran does not seem to be ready to accept many of America’s conditions.
destroy nuclear plant
America has placed a condition before Iran that it will have to destroy all three of its nuclear plants (Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan). Apart from this, all our enriched uranium will have to be handed over to America.
keeping uranium enrichment at zero
One of America’s conditions regarding Iran’s nuclear program is that Tehran will have to limit uranium enrichment to zero or very low levels. But Iran can keep the Tehran research reactor.
Relaxation of restrictions on acceptance of conditions
America says that initially there will be minimal relaxation in the restrictions. If Iran accepts the conditions, further relaxation will be given, but if the deal is not finalized then the US will impose more stringent sanctions on Iran.
Denial of sunset clause
America has refused the sunset clause. He does not want there to be any limit on the duration of any agreement. A sunset clause is a term or provision included in a deal that states that a law will no longer go into effect after a certain date, unless extended by legislative action.
stop uranium enrichment
Uranium enrichment is a major issue between America and Iran. The US has set a condition that Iran will have to stop uranium enrichment. However, till now Iran seems to be denying this. On February 8, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied giving up uranium enrichment and said he was not afraid of threats of war with the US.
