President Donald Trump declared that “WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM” on Truth Social, following reports that his administration had offered Iran a nuclear deal permitting continued uranium enrichment, raising questions about his administration’s negotiating stance.
Trump’s post came hours after Axios reported that the US proposal delivered to Iran on Saturday would allow Iran to enrich uranium for civilian purposes under international monitoring, according to sources familiar with the offer.
A senior Iranian diplomat told Reuters the country is preparing to reject the proposal, describing it as “completely one-sided” and a “non-starter” because it fails to guarantee immediate sanctions relief. Iran has consistently maintained its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes under international law.
Iran has increased its stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium to approximately 900 pounds since Trump reimposed sanctions in 2018, according to International Atomic Energy Agency reports. Trump has threatened military action if diplomatic efforts fail.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said “Special Envoy Witkoff has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and it’s in their best interest to accept it.”
