US–Iran talks: $20B for uranium deal?

The United States and Iran are reportedly discussing a potential deal where Tehran would surrender its stockpile of enriched uranium in exchange for the release of approximately $20 billion in frozen Iranian assets held by the US. However, President Donald Trump has publicly stated that "no money will change hands," creating a contradiction between reported negotiations and his public stance. This development comes amid ongoing peace talks and a recent deadline set by Trump for Iran to reach an agreement.
