US Plans to Unfreeze $20 Billion in Funds for Iran's Uranium Cessation
On April 17, according to AXIOS, two US officials and two sources familiar with the negotiations revealed that the US and Iran are negotiating a three-page plan to end the conflict, one element of which involves the US unfreezing $20 billion of Iranian funds in exchange for Iran abandoning its enriched uranium stockpile. According to the two sources, in the early stages of negotiations, the US proposed unfreezing $6 billion for humanitarian supplies, while Iran requested $27 billion. The latest figures being discussed between the US and Iran are $20 billion. One US official stated that this is the US proposal. Another US official described the concept of 'cash for uranium' as 'one of many discussions.' Meanwhile, the US is demanding that Iran agree to send all its nuclear materials to the US, while Iran has only agreed to 'dilution' within its territory. Under the compromise being discussed, some highly enriched uranium would be sent to a third country (not necessarily the US), while some would be diluted under international supervision within Iran. -
