Iran offers to give up uranium stocks, Trump wants zero enrichment
Summary
- US President Donald Trump said Iran does not want to go far enough and that he wants “zero” uranium enrichment, shortly after Oman’s foreign minister said Tehran was ready to give up its uranium stockpiles and allow IAEA monitoring.
- US President Donald Trump told reporters he is not happy with Iran but more talks were expected to be held on Friday. Trump said he doesn’t want to use military force, but that sometimes it’s necessary.
- Britain said on Friday it had temporarily withdrawn its staff from Iran due to the security situation. The United States also advised its personnel to leave Israel ‘today’.
- The IAEA said it cannot assure Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful after losing access to key sites and the ability to verify Tehran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

Its getting close to the start of the war.
A dozen American F-22 Raptor fighter jets, representing more than $4 billion of military spending, have arrived at an Israeli Air Force base amid a massive buildup of US military hardware in the Middle East.
Designed by Lockheed Martin, the F-22s cost around $350 million each, and are so vital to the US that the Pentagon has forbidden their sale or license to any foreign government.
The dozen jets were previously stationed at the RAF Lakenheath base in southern England and were seen taking off earlier on Tuesday.
