[Trump Proposes New Options for Handling Iran's Enriched Uranium] On the afternoon of March 25th, Eastern Time, US President Trump posted on social media, stating that Iran's enriched uranium could either be returned to the US for destruction or destroyed in Iran under international supervision. Trump wrote that Iran's enriched uranium "should either be handed over to the United States immediately" for destruction, or "better still, destroyed in place or at another acceptable location, in close cooperation and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran," with the entire process and related matters to be witnessed by the "Atomic Energy Commission" or an equivalent agency. It is unclear whether the "Atomic Energy Commission" Trump referred to is the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). CNN believes that compared to Trump's previous statements, this statement shows that he is "open" to Iran's participation in the process of disposing of enriched uranium. (Xinhua)
