Trump: Iran Has Agreed to Hand Over Uranium
17th April 2026
Iran has agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, Donald Trump has claimed, saying the two sides were “close” to a peace deal to end the war.
“They’ve agreed to give us back the nuclear dust,” the US president told reporters, using his term for the enriched uranium supply that could be used to build nuclear weapons.
Uranium has been a major sticking point in the search for peace between the US and Iran. Tehran has offered to halt enrichment for five years, but the US insists it should cease activity for 20 years.
They’ll try to cheat, of course. But what worked with Obama and Biden will be less successful with Trump.
