China has announced it is prepared to receive or dilute approximately 440 kilograms of enriched uranium if the United States and Iran reach an agreement. The offer, reported by the Associated Press, positions China as a potential third-party participant in the ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations. This development comes as US President Donald Trump has set a deadline for a deal and demanded Iran surrender its nuclear materials. China's proposal could provide a logistical solution for the disposal of Iran's stockpile, a key sticking point in the talks.
