Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said on Friday that US and Iran would jointly remove uranium from Tehran's nuclear sites with excavators under any peace deal. 

Donald Trump, US President said  "This process should go very quickly in that most of the points are already negotiated and agreed to. The USA will get all nuclear dust. Iran with the help of the USA has removed or is removing all of the sea mines. And most importantly, it never agreed, and you'll understand, they will never have a nuclear weapon. They will never have a nuclear weapon." 

Trump's comments elaborated on his claim on Thursday that Iran had agreed to hand over its enriched uranium, but without giving any details on such a transfer. He regularly uses the term "nuclear dust" to refer to Iran's stock of enriched uranium, which the US accuses Iran of hoarding in order to make an atomic bomb. But he has also used it to refer to material left from US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in June last year.
