The United States is publicly pressuring Iran regarding its nuclear program, with Donald Trump suggesting the US could obtain Iran's enriched uranium stockpile immediately, claiming the material is currently 'entombed'. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that any potential deal with the United States requires the release of 50 percent of Tehran's frozen funds. Donald Trump has stated that he would only sign a deal that curbs Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
