Eric: lashing out after president trump's tough sanctions even curving the regime's behavior and now after tehran ramping up uranium enrichment in violation of uranium nuclear deal, meeting with top iranian officials about all of this today, trey yngst in middle east bureau, hi, trey. >> the head of the un nuclear watchdog did meet today in tehran with iran's nuclear director as 2015jcpoa nuclear deal continues to unravel, this meeting does come after iran announced over the weekend that it began to violate a third term of the nuclear agreement by injecting uranium gas into advanced centrifuge...

Now indications that since this president walked away from it and others have been indicating the same, probably not a big surprise that iran is doing the same. we're getting indications now that iran is injecting uranium gas into advanced cartridges. i'm note engineering or expert on that, but apparently is signals it's not buying the limits of the research and development, a key tenet of that accord. and the former u.s.s. cole commander. you could argue that the president was right to be suspicious of the iranians and now they're cheating, it's very clear the french are willing to pay $15 bi...

From pakistan. we don't want them while they are frozen in this program to be doing research and putting brand-new much more efficient centrifuges in. how exactly do you do it? that's what we're negotiating. plus once it being looks like we're going to get two-thirds of their sent trifujs that are going to be ripped out, you want a supply of uranium gas. they have about 8,000 kilograms. you want to get that to a tenth or less. how do you do that? do you dilute it turn it into fuel? that is what is being negotiated. >> i was hearing about the potential of sending this to, of all places russia. ...

Reached that breakthrough on the interim agreement things were very pessimistic. you're seeing hard bargaining. what we do know is they are very close on all the major issues. on this one sticking point should the uranium gas in iran be shipped out? yes. russia has the ability of taking that gas and converting it to fuel rods and shipping it back to iran. that is our preferred course but there's more than one way to skin a fuel rod in this case. you can take that and dilute it in iran to put it in a form that cannot be used to make a bomb. >> sounds to me like the iranians don't want their ego...

We have wanted to take all the machines out of that facility. the iranians are balking at that. there may be a creative compromise. let them keep some of the machines but they cannot be used to enrich uranium. so no uranium gas goes in. you can use centrifuges for other scientific purposes. for example, to enrich or separate out isotopes of zinc or various other elements. if they use them to separate zeon, they could be enriched into uranium. but metallic substances like zinc would contaminate the centrifuges and probably couldn't be used for uranium enrichment again. so this actual issue is o...
