Get you up to speed: Iran agrees in principle to dispose of highly-enriched uranium, White House official says
Iran has agreed in principle to dispose of highly-enriched uranium in negotiations with the U.S., although a final agreement is not anticipated this weekend. Vice President JD Vance, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner are involved in the talks.
Officials are finalising the mechanism for Iran’s disposal of highly-enriched uranium, with authority granted by the supreme leader for negotiations. No decisions have been made regarding the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and any potential sanctions relief would align with Iran’s compliance on nuclear issues.
Iran has “agreed in principle” to dispose of highly-enriched uranium, with a senior official indicating that a final agreement is yet to be reached. President Trump has advised his representatives “not to rush into a deal,” stating that they should take the necessary time to achieve desired outcomes.
What remains unclear — It is still uncertain how the mechanism for the disposal of highly-enriched uranium will be structured and implemented.
Iran agrees in principle to dispose of highly enriched uranium, says US official
Iran has agreed in principle to dispose of highly-enriched uranium in negotiations with the U.S., although a deal likely won’t be signed this weekend, a senior Trump administration official said Sunday morning.
The official said the U.S. believes Iran’s supreme leader has approved the template for a deal, but a final agreement still needs to be made before anything is signed. They said it is still an open question as to whether that will come to fruition.
Even before Operation Epic Fury, the Iranian system was “frustratingly slow and opaque,” the official said, and it has only become more so since.
The official added that any final agreement that is reached would take several days to work its way through the system, and that even if they had formalized the agreement, nothing would be signed today.
The deal agreed to in principle will be a two-step process, with the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the U.S. blockade, followed by negotiations on a mechanism for Iran to give up various parts of its nuclear program, the official said.
The U.S. wants Iran to commit to disposing of highly enriched uranium and to resolving other nuclear issues, the official said. The official said the administration believes this is a better deal than the one agreed upon in 2015 under former President Barack Obama, which allowed nuclear enrichment up to a certain level.
Officials were still working through details of the mechanism for how the uranium would be disposed of with the people who have been empowered by the supreme leader to negotiate.
No decisions have been made yet on unfreezing Iranian assets, according to the senior official, but any sanctions relief would be commensurate with the actual delivery of what the U.S. asks for in terms of meeting the president’s national security objectives.
The official also said “I think we’re actually in a very good place” for a deal, and that they believe they can get the Strait of Hormuz opened and meet the president’s objectives related to nuclear material.
Vice President JD Vance, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have been involved in the negotiations. The U.S. is trying to involve every Middle Eastern ally, the official said.
Mr. Trump said Saturday that the peace deal is “largely negotiated,” but he posted on social media one day later that he told his representatives “not to rush into a deal” and “time is on our side.”
The difference between now and before the first six-week military campaign took place is that the Iranians are now making some “serious accommodations” on points that they were not willing to negotiate on before, according to the senior official.

Get you up to speed: Russia uses deadly hypersonic missile in fatal attack on Ukraine capital | News World
Russia launched its hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile in an attack on Bila Tserkva, a city in the Kyiv region, as confirmed by President Volodymyr Zelensky. The strike resulted in at least two deaths and 56 injuries, with damage reported in 40 locations across the city.
Ukraine’s Air Force reported that the combined attack involved 600 strike drones and 90 various missiles, with air defences successfully neutralising 549 drones and 55 missiles. The assault resulted in damage across 40 locations in Kyiv, including residential buildings and a school, highlighting the extensive impact on civilian infrastructure.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the use of Russia’s hypersonic Oreshnik missile in strikes on Kyiv and Bila Tserkva, resulting in at least two fatalities and numerous injuries. In response, Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported extensive damage across the city, including to residential and school buildings, as officials warn of ongoing threats and the potential for further missile attacks.
What remains unclear — It is not confirmed how many of the 90 launched missiles reached their intended targets.
Russia uses hypersonic Oreshnik missile in attack on Kyiv, killing two
Russia has used its hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile in an attack on Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced.
In a post on Telegram on Sunday, he said Russia struck the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region with the missile, which is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads.
Russia’s defence ministry later confirmed it used the Oreshnik, as well as other missile types, to strike Ukrainian ‘military command and control facilities’, air bases and military industrial enterprises.
The ministry said the attack was a retaliation following Ukrainian strikes on ‘civilian facilities on Russian territory’.
It marks the third time the missile – which Russian President Vladimir Putin has said reaches up to 10 times the speed of sound and is capable of destroying underground bunkers – has been used in Ukraine.
At least two people were killed and 56 people were injured as air raid sirens blared through the night into Sunday as smoke billowed across the city from the strikes.

The combined attack included 600 strike drones and 90 air, sea and ground-launched missiles, according to Ukraine’s Air Force.
It said Ukrainian air defences destroyed and jammed 549 drones and 55 missiles, and around 19 missiles failed to reach targets.
Zelensky had earlier warned that Russia was planning to use the Oreshnik missile, citing intelligence from the US and Western partners.
Damage was recorded in 40 locations across several districts of the city, including residential buildings, Kyiv military administration head Tymur Tkachenko said in a Telegram post.
Kyiv resident Svitlana Onofryichuk, 55, said: ‘It was a terrible night, and there had never been anything like it in the entire war.
‘I am very sorry that I have to say goodbye to Kyiv now, I am not staying there anymore, there is no possibility. My job is gone, everything is gone, everything has burned down.’

Yevhen Zosin, 74, who witnessed the attack, said the moment he heard an explosion, he rushed to save his dog.
‘Then there was another explosion, and she and I were thrown back like a pin by the shock wave. We both survived, she and I. My apartment was blown to pieces,’ he said.
In Kyiv’s Shevchenko district, a five-storey residential building was hit, which caused a fire, and one person was killed, Ukraine’s state emergency service reported.
A school building was damaged by an attack while people sheltered inside, Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said. Local authorities reported supermarkets and warehouses across the city were also damaged.
Russia first used the multiple-warhead Oreshnik on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024. It was used a second time in January in the western Lviv region.
President Vladimir Putin has said the weapon travels ‘like a meteorite’ and is immune to any missile defence system, adding that several such missiles, even fitted with conventional warheads, could be as devastating as a nuclear strike.
