President Donald Trump has said he would insist that Iran completely dismantle its uranium enrichment programme as part of a nuclear deal with the US, appearing to contradict a proposal put forward by his own special envoy.
The conflicting messaging over a possible nuclear deal follows media reports that under a proposal put forward on Saturday by the president’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, Iran would be allowed to retain low levels of enrichment for civilian purposes if it agreed to temporarily shut down its underground uranium processing sites.
“Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday night.
