BRICSinfo reports that former US President Donald Trump has announced Iran agreed to surrender its enriched uranium stockpile as part of a proposed framework to de-escalate recent conflict in the Middle East. The announcement was shared alongside an illustrated portrait, images of radiation barrels, and a screenshot of a detailed post from his Truth Social account outlining the terms.
According to the post, the proposed deal aims to end hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping, remove naval mines, and destroy Iran’s enriched uranium through a US-led process coordinated with Iranian officials and the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA. Trump stated there would be no immediate sanctions relief or payment to Iran under the initial phase of the arrangement. The framework, if implemented, would address one of the core US demands in years of nuclear negotiations: verifiable removal of uranium enriched beyond civilian needs.
Major news outlets including _The New York Times_ and _Associated Press_ report that US officials have confirmed Iran gave an in-principle agreement on the uranium issue. Officials described it as a key demand and a potential breakthrough after weeks of tension that disrupted shipping and raised fears of wider conflict. However, they noted that implementation details remain unresolved and are expected to be worked out in future talks. Critical questions about timelines, inspection access, destruction methods, and verification mechanisms have not been finalized.
Iran has not publicly verified the full statement. As of now, Tehran has not issued an official confirmation matching Trump’s description of the terms. Iranian officials often negotiate through formal diplomatic channels and the IAEA, and past announcements from US leaders have sometimes differed from Iran’s public position until details are signed.
The Strait of Hormuz is a central part of the proposal because about 20% of the world’s oil passes through it. Mine removal and guaranteed shipping access would lower global energy risks if both sides comply. Linking that to uranium surrender ties nuclear diplomacy directly to regional security and trade.
Nuclear experts say destroying enriched stockpiles under IAEA supervision is technically possible but complex. It requires agreed procedures, on-site monitoring, and chain-of-custody controls to ensure material cannot be diverted. Without a signed, detailed agreement, the current announcement remains a political outline rather than a binding deal….See More
