Trump Rejects Iran Nuclear Enrichment Proposal
US President Donald Trump appears to have rejected a proposal from his special envoy to Iran regarding civilian nuclear enrichment.
Key Points:
- Trump insists Iran must fully dismantle its nuclear enrichment program for sanctions relief.
- The rejected proposal would have allowed low-level uranium enrichment for civilian purposes.
- Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons but refuses to end enrichment activities completely.
Trump's stance contradicts efforts by his envoy, who reportedly offered limited enrichment for uses like nuclear medicine and power, in exchange for shutting down underground sites. This proposal included a regional consortium to oversee the enrichment.
Tehran has denied it is seeking nuclear weapons. Recent US-Iran talks included concessions that could face opposition from Israel. Trump previously withdrew the US from the 2015 nuclear agreement.
