President Donald Trump’s new Iran framework faces criticism from nuclear experts who warn the deal may not adequately address Iran’s control over its enriched uranium stockpile. The U.S.-Iran MOU proposes resolving the stockpile through a future process involving IAEA-supervised downblending, but experts emphasize the need for unfettered inspections to verify compliance. Key details remain unresolved as planned negotiations were postponed, leaving concerns about Iran’s nuclear program unchecked.
