Iran will have to stop enriching uranium under any deal with the United States and could only import what is needed for a civilian nuclear program, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said ahead of talks between Tehran and Washington on Saturday.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that any potential agreement would require Iran to end all domestic uranium enrichment and rely solely on imported material for its civilian nuclear needs.

The Trump administration is prepared to allow Iran to have a civil nuclear program that relies exclusively on imported nuclear fuel, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, outlining a possible compromise with Tehran aimed at preventing it from building a nuclear weapon.

Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program will proceed Wednesday.

The United States and Iran are due to hold their second round of nuclear talks on Saturday, as what both sides are looking for in a deal begins to take shape.

The US president insisted that he and his Israeli counterpart are on the 'same side of every issue,' as Israel vows to act against Iran's nuclear ambitions despite renewed diplomatic efforts.
