U.S. Envoy Witkoff: Iranian Negotiators Bragged about Their Nuclear Potential
(i24News) U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News on Monday that negotiations with Iran collapsed after Iranian officials openly asserted their intention to enrich uranium at levels sufficient to produce nuclear weapons. Witkoff said the Iranian negotiators openly acknowledged possessing 460 kg. of uranium enriched to 60% - an amount they admitted could be converted into as many as 11 nuclear bombs. "They weren't hiding it. They were proud," he said, adding that the Iranian officials also boasted of bypassing international monitoring systems to reach that point. "President Trump sent us to see if Iran was serious. But by the second meeting, it was clear a deal was impossible."
