"If the ultimate objective is to ensure forever that Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, I think we have cracked that problem through these negotiations by agreeing [on] a very important breakthrough that has never been achieved any time before. The single most important achievement, I believe, is the agreement that Iran will never ever have nuclear material that will create a bomb."
"Now we are talking about zero stockpiling, and that is very, very important because if you cannot stockpile material that is enriched, then there is no way that you can actually create a bomb. This is something completely new. It really makes the enrichment argument less relevant, because now we are talking about zero stockpiling."
"A peace deal is within our reach if we just allow diplomacy the space it needs to get there. There would also be full and comprehensive verification by the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], referring to the UN's nuclear watchdog."
Oman's Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi announced that indirect talks between the United States and Iran achieved a significant breakthrough: Iran agreed never to stockpile enriched uranium. Al Busaidi characterized this as a historic achievement that effectively prevents Iran from developing nuclear weapons, as uranium cannot be weaponized without stockpiling. The agreement includes provisions for Iran to degrade current nuclear material stockpiles to the lowest possible levels and convert them into irreversible fuel. Full verification by the International Atomic Energy Agency will monitor compliance. Al Busaidi expressed confidence that all remaining issues could be resolved amicably within months if diplomacy is allowed to proceed without interference.
