Iran Says US Demanded Its Uranium Stockpile for Sanctions Relief

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Trump administration had demanded his country hand over its entire enriched uranium stockpile in exchange for temporary relief from impending UN sanctions.

Pezeshkian’s remarks Saturday came as Iran’s currency hit a fresh record low and the country recalled its envoys to the UK, France and Germany amid rising tensions with the West over its nuclear program.
