Trump says Iran agrees to hand over ‘nuclear dust’

.Iran has not
confirmed Trump’s claim. Giving up its highly enriched uranium would be a
major step toward an agreement. President Donald Trump said Thursday that
Iran has agreed to hand over “nuclear dust” that was buried by last
year’s U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, a claim that,
if accurate, would be a significant step in U.S. efforts to reduce
Tehran’s ability to produce a nuclear weapon.

There was no immediate
confirmation from the Iranian side that it had made the concession in talks
with Americans and their Pakistani interlocutors as a two-week ceasefire
nears its expiration Tuesday. Previous U.S. claims about Iranian nuclear
commitments have turned out to be inaccurate or have fallen through.
