Enriched uranium must be handed over or destroyed, Trump to Iran

US President Donald Trump said Iran’s enriched uranium(Nuclear dust) stockpile must either be handed over to the United States for destruction or eliminated under international supervision, Trump wrote on Truth Social.He added that the process should take place in the presence of the “Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent,” as negotiations between Tehran and Washington continue through regional mediators.  Trump said  that a deal with Iran would either be "great and meaningful" or there would be "no deal."
Meanwhile, conflicting reports emerged from southern Iran on Monday after explosions were reported east of Bandar Abbas, a key port city overlooking the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian outlet Tabnak reported that the runway at Bandar Abbas airport had been struck by a missile, though no official confirmation was immediately issued. On the other hand, US CENTCOM said the American forces had conducted “self-defense strikes” in the country. The strikes targeted missile launch boats and Iranian boats seeking to lay mines, CENTCOM added. The CENTCOM further said that the American military would defend their forces “while urging restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
Top Iranian top negotiator Mohammad ​Bagher Ghalibaf and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi are reportedly in Doha for talks with Qatar's prime minister on a potential US-Iran deal to end the conflict, Reuters reported , quoting an official. Iran's central bank governor is part of the delegation to Doha to discuss potential release of frozen assets as part of an eventual final Iran-US deal, Reuters reported, citing an official.
The peace proposal is awaiting Tehran’s response and the delay is due to an internal decision-making process, US' state secretary Marco Rubio has said. He added that there was a “pretty solid thing on the table” for a time-limited negotiation on Iran’s nuclear issue. A deal may be announced today, the diplomat said.
Iranian officials continue to insist that the country’s nuclear program and stockpile of highly enriched uranium should only be addressed in later stages of a broader agreement. The current focus appears to center on roughly $6 billion in Iranian assets transferred from South Korea to Qatar in 2023 under a US-Iran prisoner exchange deal. The funds were later re-frozen following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent deterioration in relations between Tehran and Washington.
