US President Donald Trump said in a new statement on his platform "Truth Social" that the United States will not allow Iran to enrich uranium in any form, indicating that this stance is part of a potential agreement with Tehran, and that his country is working on storing weapons unprecedentedly "hoping not to have to use them."
Trump's statement came in conjunction with media reports from informed American sources, as reported by "Axios," stating that the US proposal presented to Iran allows it to enrich uranium up to only 3% for a limited period.
The sources confirmed that the proposal does not include dismantling all Iranian nuclear facilities, but imposes strict conditions including not establishing new enrichment facilities, dismantling uranium conversion and processing infrastructure, halting the development of modern centrifuge devices, and not lifting sanctions until "real commitment" from Iran is achieved and approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
A senior Iranian diplomatic source stated that his country intends to reject the US proposal, describing it as "unworkable" because it does not consider Iran's interests and does not offer a fundamental change in Washington's position on enrichment.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, also confirmed that his country received the written US proposal through Oman and that it is under consideration.
Media reports also mentioned the possibility of the proposal including the idea of establishing a regional uranium enrichment consortium outside Iranian territory in exchange for a gradual lifting of sanctions.
However, Tehran has repeatedly emphasized that relinquishing the right to enrichment within its borders is a red line that cannot be crossed.
The sixth round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States is expected to take place soon, following the start of the first round of dialogue on April 12th, in a new attempt to revive the nuclear agreement amid a tense international atmosphere and escalating statements from both sides.
