Overview
- Iran’s atomic energy chief said the country will not accept any limit on its uranium enrichment program ahead of talks mediated by Pakistan.
- President Donald Trump said there will be no enrichment in Iran and that the United States will work with Tehran to dig up buried nuclear material from past strikes.
- Trump warned he would impose 50% tariffs on any country that supplies weapons to Iran, saying the measure would take effect immediately and without exemptions.
- U.S. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth said Washington intends to obtain Iran’s enriched uranium and kept the option of new strikes like the 2025 operation on the table.
- Key facts remain unverified, including how much enriched uranium Iran still holds and the extent of damage from the 2025 strikes, and the IAEA has not corroborated claims that Iran seeks a nuclear weapon.
