Trump appears to undercut US proposal to Iran, declaring he won’t allow any uranium enrichment
June 2, 2025
President Donald Trump has appeared to undercut a proposal that was offered by his special envoy to Iran. Trump posted on social media Monday that he’ll insist that Tehran fully dismantle its nuclear enrichment program as part of any deal to ease crushing sanctions. Trump and Steve Witkoff, who is leading the negotiations for the U.S., have repeatedly offered inconsistent public messages about whether Iran would be allowed to retain the capacity to enrich uranium to lower levels for civilian purposes. Trump’s post comes after media reports that Witkoff’s latest proposal to Tehran would have allowed Iran to retain low levels of enrichment for civilian uses like nuclear medicine and commercial power.
