  • President Donald Trump outlined three options for destroying Iran's enriched uranium: within the U.S., in Iran, or at another agreed location, under international supervision.
  • The U.S. will not allow Iran to keep its nearly 454 kg stockpile of highly enriched uranium, emphasizing "No dust, no dollars" for financial benefits.
  • Negotiations are ongoing in Qatar amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, with Iran asserting its strength.

President Donald Trump announced that Iran's enriched uranium will be destroyed through one of three proposed methods: within the United States, on Iranian territory, or at another mutually acceptable international location, all under global oversight. This declaration, made on the Truth Social platform and confirmed by U.S. officials, signals a firm stance on preventing Iran from retaining its nuclear material.

We will probably destroy it after we get it, but we will not let them keep it.

· Donald TrumpRegarding Iran's enriched uranium stockpile.

The U.S. administration is adamant that Iran will not be allowed to keep its stockpile of nearly 454 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, a critical element in the ongoing peace negotiations. The U.S. strategy is encapsulated by the phrase "No dust, no dollars," indicating that the elimination of the nuclear material is a non-negotiable condition for Iran to receive any financial benefits from the potential peace agreement. Trump previously stated that the uranium would likely be destroyed after acquisition, but possession by Iran would not be permitted.

These developments occur as Iranian negotiators arrive in Qatar for renewed diplomatic discussions. Sources describe the talks as "intense." Simultaneously, Israel is reportedly preparing to escalate its military operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah. The Israeli Defense Forces have conducted strikes on over 70 Hezbollah targets in the past 24 hours, while the Iran-backed group has continued its rocket and drone attacks. A U.S. official stated that the U.S. supports Israel's continued operations, asserting that Israel should not passively accept attacks.

Negotiations are intense and continue throughout the day.

From Tehran, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared Iran is "stronger than ever." The new head of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, issued a stern warning, promising "no retreat" in the confrontation with the U.S. and Israel. This appointment, following the killing of Ali Larijani, suggests the growing influence of the Revolutionary Guard within Iran's power structures. In a separate move, President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered the restoration of internet access after months of restrictions.
