Iran has agreed to transfer all of its enriched uranium to the United States, bringing Washington and Tehran closer to striking a deal. This was announced by Donald Trump in a recent speech at the White House.

“If no agreement is reached, we’ll return to war,” emphasized the US President.

That same evening, Trump announced a ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, set to begin at midnight. He also invited Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun to Washington in the next two weeks.

“Israel wanted to continue the war, but saying no to Trump was not an option,” noted a senior Israeli official.

According to him, the US President believes that the pause in Lebanon will push Tehran to meet US demands on its nuclear program and missiles. Trump also mentioned a possible visit to Islamabad if a deal with Iran is reached. Lebanon’s President also plans to visit the Pakistani capital.

A few days ago, a US delegation left Islamabad. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that the Iranians did not agree to the US conditions. In this context, Trump’s announcement about Tehran’s readiness to transfer enriched uranium came as a surprise. No confirmation has been received from Tehran yet.

Previously, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted that the enriched uranium would not leave the Islamic Republic under any circumstances, viewing the right to enrichment as “inalienable.”

Less than a week remains before the two-week truce between the US and Iran ends. This concerns approximately 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, enough to create ten nuclear warheads. According to US intelligence, this material was buried under rubble following bombings in June 2025.

Trump had previously proposed a joint operation with Iran to excavate the rubble and remove the uranium. Retired US Admiral James Stavridis estimated that such a military operation could be the largest special forces operation in history.
