Trump envoy's secret meeting with top nuclear scientists a clear sign for experts: report

Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held an unannounced meeting with top nuclear scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee, according to Axios. While no Iran deal has been finalized, the session signaled that experts could influence ongoing nuclear negotiations. Oak Ridge specialists in uranium processing and centrifuge technology prepared to contribute if talks move to a second phase, addressing disposal of Iran’s nuclear material, enrichment limits, and verification. The White House did not comment, and internal Iranian divisions persist, but the gathering is viewed as a sign of strategic seriousness.
