BREAKING: Trump Claims Iran Has “Agreed to Everything” Including Removal of Enriched Uranium — Tehran Immediately Rejects Assertion

President says Iran will work with U.S. to remove nuclear material; Iranian Foreign Ministry calls transfer “never an option” and declares enriched uranium “sacred” as deadline pressure builds

President Donald Trump stated Friday that Iran has “agreed to everything” in ongoing negotiations with the United States, including working together to remove its stockpile of enriched uranium from the country.

In multiple interviews and posts, Trump claimed Tehran had consented to major concessions, such as halting uranium enrichment and cooperating on the retrieval of nuclear material — with some remarks suggesting the U.S. would help transport it back to America. He described the progress as rapid and expressed optimism about finalizing a broader peace deal soon.

Iranian officials swiftly pushed back. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told state media that enriched uranium “is not going to be transferred anywhere” and that sending the material abroad “was never an option on the table.” He emphasized that enriched uranium is “as sacred to us as Iranian soil” and dismissed related reports as part of a media campaign aimed at influencing talks.

This direct contradiction highlights persistent gaps between the two sides even as indirect negotiations continue.

Current Status of the Deadline and Talks

The exchange comes amid intense diplomatic activity ahead of Trump’s self-imposed 8 p.m. ET deadline for Iran to ensure the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to unrestricted commercial shipping. Iran has announced the strait is open for commercial vessels during the current fragile ceasefire period, but the U.S. maintains its naval blockade will remain in place until a permanent deal is reached.

Iran continues to reject any temporary ceasefire, with its UN Ambassador declaring it “categorically” unacceptable. Tehran insists on a comprehensive, permanent agreement that includes sanctions relief, reparations, and guarantees against future attacks.

Pakistan has intensified its mediation role, stating it is “willing to go to all lengths” to help secure a lasting peace through the “Islamabad Process.”

Trump Links Deal to Israeli Security

President Trump has repeatedly tied any successful agreement to enhanced security for Israel, stating that a deal would make Israel “more secure.” This comes as a new Channel 12 poll in Israel shows 56% of Israelis do not want Benjamin Netanyahu to continue as Prime Minister, reflecting domestic pressure on the Israeli leader who played a key role in the early stages of the conflict through his February Situation Room briefing to Trump.

Regional and Military Context

Kuwait’s Interior Ministry has advised residents to stay home overnight (12 a.m. to 6 a.m. local time) as a precautionary measure amid fears of Iranian retaliation targeting civilian infrastructure in the Gulf.

U.S. military readiness remains visible, with CENTCOM images of Marines conducting live-fire drills aboard USS Tripoli in the Arabian Sea. The White House has categorically denied any consideration of nuclear weapons against Iran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s optimistic assessments of Iranian capabilities continue to draw internal scrutiny from intelligence reports showing significant residual missile and drone capacity.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has expressed hope that threats against civilian infrastructure are negotiating “bluster,” stressing that the U.S. is “not at war with the Iranian people.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has condemned Iranian actions in the Strait of Hormuz as “terrorist activity” by a state sponsor of terrorism.

Parallel Developments

In Ukraine, Ukrainian forces used British-made Malloy T-150 heavy-lift drones to destroy a Russian-controlled bridge near Kherson. The UK’s HMS Dragon remains operationally ready near Cyprus after addressing a minor water system issue.

Implications as Talks Intensify

The public disagreement over the enriched uranium issue underscores the challenges in bridging differences on Iran’s nuclear program, one of the core sticking points. While modest progress has been reported in indirect talks — with one U.S. official describing Iran’s latest proposal as “better than expected” — significant gaps remain on enrichment timelines, sanctions, and verification mechanisms.

A successful permanent deal could stabilize global energy markets and reduce humanitarian risks, but failure to narrow differences before or shortly after the deadline could lead to renewed escalation.
