Claim 1: “Iran has reportedly agreed to give up its stockpile of enriched uranium as part of the deal announced by President Trump Saturday.”
DISPUTED
Evidence is contradictory. One web search result mentions Iran agreed to a peace draft deal, while another (Reuters) states Iran rejects a temporary halt on uranium enrichment and that enriched uranium must stay in Iran. Additionally, Wikipedia notes that while negotiations occurred, Trump's stance was 'No uranium enrichment under any Iran deal'.
