Iran\u2019s uranium enrichment has become a flashpoint in the Iran-US ceasefire as the issue potentially hangs the deal by a thread. Both sides have put across their own versions of dealing with the uranium question.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s terms: Enrichment as a red line<\/p>\n
Tehran said on Wednesday its 10-point plan for securing an end to the war with the United States would require Washington to accept its uranium enrichment program and the lifting of all sanctions.<\/p>\n
The Islamic Republic claimed victory and said in a statement, released alongside a list of the 10 points published by state media, that the plan would require \u201ccontinued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of enrichment, lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Farsi version of Iran\u2019s proposal explicitly mentions \u201cacceptance of enrichment\u201d \u2014 a clause absent in the English version.<\/p>\n
Former foreign minister Javad Zarif outlined a roadmap under which Iran would cap enrichment at 3.67 per cent under international monitoring in return for sanctions relief.<\/p>\n
Tehran is treating its stockpile of roughly 440 kg of 60 per cent enriched uranium, as estimated by the International Atomic Energy Agency, as a key bargaining chip in upcoming talks in Islamabad.<\/p>\n
\u2018Taken care of\u2019<\/p>\n
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has said that Iran\u2019s nuclear stockpile \u201cwill be perfectly taken care of\u201d under the new deal between the two countries.<\/p>\n
When asked about what would happen to Iran\u2019s enriched uranium, Trump told AFP, \u201cThat will be perfectly taken care of, or I wouldn\u2019t have settled.\u201d<\/p>\n
The US leader appeared bullish on the truce with Iran, despite Tehran also casting it as a win for its side, and amid questions over exactly what both sides had agreed on.<\/p>\n
The two sides agreed on the ceasefire barely an hour before Trump\u2019s deadline to obliterate the Islamic Republic was set to expire.<\/p>\n
\u201cTotal and complete victory. 100 per cent. No question about it,\u201d Trump told AFP in the brief call when asked if he was claiming victory with the ceasefire.<\/p>\n
The core deadlock: Nuclear sovereignty vs dismantlement<\/p>\n
Recognition of enrichment rights is framed by Tehran as a matter of national sovereignty. Washington wants the removal or neutralisation of Iran\u2019s uranium stockpile to block any path to 90 per cent weapons-grade enrichment.<\/p>\n
The nuclear dispute is tightly linked to Iran\u2019s demand for lifting all sanctions \u2014 making it the central obstacle ahead of talks reportedly scheduled for April 10 in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
