Iran's Supreme Leader decides enriched uranium must remain in Iran

Iran's Supreme Leader has decided that enriched uranium must remain inside Iran, according to Iranian sources cited by Reuters. The decision creates a standoff with President Trump, who demands that 400 kg of enriched uranium be removed from Iran and handed over to the United States. The issue presents no middle ground—the uranium is either removed or it isn't. Both sides remain entrenched in their positions, with any Iranian concession likely to be perceived publicly as an unequivocal defeat and retreat from previously declared positions.
