One of the United States’ reported negotiated proposals to Iran is offering the country access to $20 billion in frozen assets in exchange for more than 900 pounds of its enriched uranium, two unnamed U.S. officials and two additional sources told Axios.
Among various discussions ongoing between the two countries, the U.S. is hoping to prevent Iran from accessing roughly 4,400 pounds (2,000kg) of enriched uranium, 992 pounds (450kg) of which is enriched to 60 percent purity, buried underneath its nuclear facilities.
