Iran must abandon enriched uranium and not produce more, Netanyahu says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly outlined stringent conditions for any U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement, demanding that Iran surrender all enriched uranium and cease all enrichment activities entirely. These demands come ahead of a second round of negotiations scheduled in Geneva between American and Iranian officials, where Iran has indicated willingness to compromise on uranium enrichment levels if the United States agrees to lift economic sanctions. However, Iranian officials have firmly rejected zero enrichment as unacceptable and a violation of their treaty rights, while the U.S. has simultaneously increased military presence in the Middle East with aircraft carriers to pressure Tehran.
