WASHINGTON – U.S. President Donald Trump has outlined key elements of a proposed agreement with Iran, stating that Tehran would only be permitted to enrich uranium at low levels for civilian and peaceful purposes under the new framework.
In an interview with a leading American newspaper, Trump said the planned arrangement would ensure that Iran’s uranium enrichment activities remain strictly non-military and could not be used to develop nuclear weapons.
While discussing enrichment limits, the president did not provide a specific percentage threshold. However, he emphasized that any uranium enrichment allowed under the agreement would be restricted to peaceful applications such as energy production and scientific research.
Trump also suggested that sanctions relief could be influenced by Iran’s future domestic conduct. He indicated that serious actions against anti-government demonstrators could affect the pace or scope of economic benefits available to Tehran, although reports suggest this condition is not formally included in the draft agreement.
The U.S. president also commented on regional developments, arguing that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons remains a central objective of American policy. He said such weapons could pose significant security concerns for countries across the Middle East.
Addressing diplomatic efforts, Trump claimed that recent military pressure and strategic actions by the United States contributed to bringing Iran back to the negotiating table. He also argued that ongoing regional conflicts have complicated diplomatic progress and created additional challenges for negotiators.
The president warned that if negotiations fail to produce a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, Washington could consider alternative measures, including military options. He stated that the United States remains committed to preventing the emergence of a nuclear-armed Iran.
According to Trump, recent progress in negotiations reflects a shared interest in avoiding further escalation and reducing the risk of additional conflict in the region.
His remarks come at a time when international attention remains focused on ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, with diplomats from multiple countries working to secure an agreement that could ease tensions and establish a framework for future cooperation.
