Overview
- Iranian negotiators told Steve Witkoff they controlled about 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, which they said could yield roughly 11 nuclear bombs.
- Witkoff said 60% material could be brought to weapons-grade in roughly a week to 10 days, and 20% material in three to four weeks.
- He described an Iranian inventory of roughly 10,000 kilograms of fissile material, including about 1,000 kilograms at 20%, and said Iran manufactures its own centrifuges.
- Witkoff said the U.S. proposed a 10‑year halt to enrichment with Washington paying for civilian fuel, which he said Iran rejected.
- Independent reports and IAEA chief Rafael Grossi have cited similar theoretical bomb-equivalent estimates, while a Persian Gulf diplomat told MS NOW that Iran offered to give up enriched stock under a deal, a claim the White House dismissed.
