Donald Trump proposes deal to eliminate Iran’s enriched uranium

Updated: 4:27 PM PKT — May 26, 2026

US President Donald Trump has softened his position on Iran’s enriched uranium, proposing a new option for its disposal as part of a potential deal. He stated the material could either be handed over to the US or, preferably, be destroyed within Iran or at another mutually acceptable location under international supervision.

In a social media post, Trump contrasted his approach with the Obama-era nuclear deal, asserting that any agreement he signs would be a “good and proper deal” and would not provide Iran with cash or a path to nuclear weapons. He also posted a cryptic image of a missile with the caption, “Thank you for paying attention to this matter.”
