US-Iran War Live Updates: Trump floats Tehran’s nuclear 'dust' destruction plan as talks, strikes run in parallel

US-Iran War Live Updates: Diplomacy and military action continue to move side by side in the US-Iran war, with President Donald Trump proposing a framework to either hand over Iran’s enriched uranium or destroy it under international supervision. Follow along for live updates on the West Asia war.

US-Iran War Live Updates: Talks between Washington and Tehran over Iran war are moving on multiple, and at times contradictory tracks, as diplomacy and military action unfold simultaneously.

President Donald Trump has said Iran’s enriched uranium will either be handed over to the US for destruction or eliminated under international supervision with the Atomic Energy Commission or a similar body acting as witness.

The development comes as his administration has been claiming that negotiation talks have been progressing “very nicely”.

At the same time, the US forces on Monday conducted what was described as “self-defence” strikes in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and boats allegedly involved in mine deployment. Officials reportedly said the operations were carried out to “protect US troops”.

Diplomatic efforts are also continuing through regional intermediaries. Iranian officials, including the country’s top negotiator and foreign minister, were in Doha for discussions with Qatar’s leadership on a possible agreement framework with the US.
