Intelligence sources in the United States are reporting that Iran has taken steps to secure its uranium stockpile, a development that directly challenges the premise of a proposed peace agreement between Washington and Tehran.
The claims suggest that despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to finalize a deal, Iran is moving to entrench its nuclear capabilities rather than dismantle them.
The report comes as the two nations are reportedly close to finalizing the text of a peace accord.
President Donald Trump has stated the agreement, which would theoretically secure a nuclear-free Iran, is set to be signed this Sunday.
However, Iranian officials have publicly denied any intention to sign the document on that timeline, creating a significant diplomatic disconnect.
This new intelligence adds a layer of complexity to the already fragile negotiations.
