Trump Undercuts US Iran Deal Proposal: No Uranium Enrichment Allowed
President Trump publicly contradicted his special envoy’s proposal regarding Iran’s nuclear program, insisting on complete dismantlement of enrichment capabilities. This directly opposes previous, inconsistent messaging from both Trump and envoy Steve Witkoff on whether Iran could retain limited enrichment for civilian purposes. While the White House defended Trump’s stance as “the cold, hard truth,” the envoy’s reported proposal suggested allowing low-level enrichment under strict conditions, including a regional consortium managing it. This new proposal bears similarities to aspects of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which Trump previously rejected.
