US considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran

The U.S. and Iran are negotiating a three-page plan to end the war, which includes the U.S. possibly releasing $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for Iran abandoning its enriched uranium stockpile.

Progress has been made, but gaps remain. Talks are set to continue in Islamabad this weekend.

The U.S. wants to secure Iran's nuclear materials while Iran seeks financial relief. A compromise may involve shipping some uranium to a third country.

The memorandum under discussion includes a voluntary moratorium on nuclear enrichment, but the terms are still debated.

Overall, while negotiations show promise, significant challenges persist. "Iran has moved. But not far enough," a U.S. official noted.
