Witkoff says Iran must end enrichment, hours after mooting modest cap

US envoy Steve Witkoff said Iran must eliminate its nuclear enrichment program on Tuesday after suggesting in an interview with Fox News the previous evening that Washington would tolerate some enrichment.

"A deal with Iran will only be completed if it is a Trump deal," his official account on X quoted him as saying.

"Any final arrangement must set a framework for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Middle East -- meaning that Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program."
