U.S. strategy involves striking Iranian bridges and infrastructure to force a deal while searching for 600 pounds of enriched uranium "dust." There is a stated intention to withdraw U.S. forces within weeks once specific military objectives are met.

The treaty, originally signed in 2010, limits the U.S. and Russia to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads each.
