President Donald Trump emerged from a two‑hour Situation Room briefing on Friday insisting that any future nuclear agreement with Iran must meet a set of non‑negotiable red lines . He emphasized that Tehran must be barred from acquiring a nuclear weapon, the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened without tolls, and all naval mines must be cleared, while a 60‑day window will focus on Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
Trump's demand to ban Iran's nuclear weapon potential
According to a senior White House aide briefed to Breitbart News, the president will only accept a deal that guarantees Iran never obtains a nuclear bomb. the aide said the discussion ended with a clear message that any framework must be "good for America" and compatible with Trump’s stated red lines. This mirrors the administration’s long‑standing policy of preventing nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.
60‑day negotiation window on Iran's enriched uranium
The president’s Truth Social post outlined a specific 60‑day period during which intensive talks will address Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, described by Trump as "nuclear dust" buried after a B‑2 strike eleven months earlier... He claimed the United States, in coordination with Iran and the IAEA, possesses the unique technical capability to excavate and destroy the material, a task he said only the U.S. and China could accomplish.
Reopening the Strait of Hormuz without tolls
Trump framed the reopening of the strategic waterway as a humanitarian gesture, insisting that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened for unrestricted two‑way shipping without any tolls. He portrayed the previous closure as an "unprecedented naval blockade" that halted vessels and separated crews from their families,and pledged swift removal of any remaining mines under American supervision.
Claims of U.S. mine‑clearing and B‑2 strike on uranium stockpile
In his statement , Trump asserted that U.S. naval forces had already neutralised a number of underwater explosives and that any remaining mines would be detonated by Iranian crews under U.S. oversight. He also reiterated that the B‑2 bomber strike that buried the uranium stockpile was a decisive action, though he offered no details on the quantity of material destroyed .
Who will verify the removal of uranium?
The source did not identify an independdent party tasked with confirming the excavation and destruction of Iran’s uranium, leaving open whether the IAEA will play a monitoring role or if verification will rely solely on U.S. and Iranian claims.
