Hey there! ๐ Did you hear about what’s happening between Iran and the United States?
Iran is a country in the Middle East, and they have a special kind of fuel called uranium. Uranium can be used to make electricity, but if it’s highly enriched, it can also be used to make nuclear weapons, which are very powerful bombs.
The United States and other countries are worried about Iran’s uranium because they don’t want more nuclear weapons in the world. So, they’ve asked Iran to send some of its uranium to other places.
But here’s the thing: Iran says they haven’t received any new plans from the United States about this. A senior official from Iran said they will only send their uranium abroad if the U.S. lifts some sanctions.
What’s a sanction? ๐ค Good question! Sanctions are like rules or penalties that countries put on each other. For example, the U.S. has rules that make it hard for Iran to do business with other countries.
Iran wants these sanctions to be lifted in a way that they can see and feel. That means they want to make sure the sanctions are really gone before they send their uranium away.
So, in short, Iran is waiting for the U.S. to take action before they decide what to do next with their uranium. ๐
It’s like when you and a friend have to agree on something: you both need to take steps to make it work! ๐ค
