Trump Suggests U.S.-Iran Cooperation on Uranium Removal Amid Ceasefire Uncertainty

As details of a newly announced two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran remain unclear, U.S. President Donald Trump indicated Wednesday that Washington and Tehran could potentially cooperate to remove Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles.

Preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons has been a central objective of Trump’s policy, and his latest remarks suggest a possible shift toward limited coordination despite ongoing tensions.

In a social media post, Trump stated that uranium enrichment would cease and proposed joint efforts to extract material buried deep underground.

“There will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried nuclear material,” he wrote, referencing debris-covered sites following previous U.S. strikes.

He added that the locations remain under close surveillance, noting they have been monitored continuously since the attacks. Trump also emphasized that no material had been moved since the strikes, citing satellite tracking.

The remarks follow earlier suggestions from the president that U.S. ground forces could be deployed to secure the material—an option military analysts have warned would carry significant operational risks and likely require a substantial special operations presence.

Iranian officials have not publicly confirmed any agreement with the United States regarding joint efforts to remove nuclear material, leaving the status of such proposals uncertain.
