Following the US-Iran ceasefire, President Donald Trump today said that Iran had agreed not resume uranium enrichment, claiming that Washington and Tehran would cooperate to secure the country’s existing stockpile of highly enriched material, though this statement has not been publicly confirmed by Iranian officials.
For their part, officials in Tehran have long maintained that the Islamic Republic’s uranium cache is its sovereign right and not intended for weaponisation, claiming that it is used solely for civilian applications such as energy production and medical use, and has refused any compromise on the matter.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that Iran’s uranium, enriched to over 60 per cent, is believed to be buried beneath the heavily damaged Isfahan facility following the US-Israeli strikes in June 2025, and would be recovered under joint supervision.
“The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear ‘Dust,” he wrote, adding that the material “has not been touched from the date of attack” and remains under “very exacting Satellite Surveillance”.
Trump also signalled potential economic relief and incentives for Tehran, amid the ongoing talks, saying, “We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran,” and claiming that “many of the 15 points have already been agreed to”.
Iran rejected a 15-point proposal by Washington, responding with its own 10-point proposal that Trump and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have said will form the basis for negotiations over the next two weeks, during the ceasefire.
