Trump insists nuclear deal won’t let Tehran enrich uranium, hints US could strike Iran ​
2025-06-08
[IsraelTimes] ‘If they enrich, then we’re going to have to do it the other way,’ US president tells reporters; Iran rejected deal that would have reportedly allowed limited enrichment

US President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets...
asserted on Friday that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
will not be allowed to enrich uranium, despite reports that the deal Washington has proposed would allow Tehran to do so at low levels for a temporary period.

"They won’t be enriching. If they enrich, then we’re going to have to do it the other way," Trump told news hounds, hinting at a military strike against Iran’s nuclear sites if a deal does not pan out, while reiterating that a diplomatic agreement is his preferred option.

Since talks between the Trump administration and the Islamic Theocratic Republic began, the US has not been entirely consistent on whether to allow Iran to enrich uranium — to the chagrin of Israeli officials, who insist on no enrichment — with some statements indicating openness to a deal like the one inked by the B.O. regime in 2015 that would allow low-level enrichment and, for as long as the deal was in effect, place it under international inspection.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for Iran’s enrichment capabilities and nuclear facilities to be fully dismantled.

Israel has assured the White House that it won’t launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities unless Trump signals that the ongoing negotiations with Tehran have failed, Axios reported Thursday, citing two Israeli officials familiar with the matter.

One official said it could take several months before that happened, and Iran would try to prevent the talks from collapsing.

Following five rounds of negotiations, the US last week presented Iran with a proposal for a deal that would reportedly restrict the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s uranium enrichment without halting it entirely. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
, rejected the proposal on Wednesday.

The supreme leader insisted Iran would not abandon its uranium enrichment program, saying that without enrichment its nuclear program was "useless," and asking of the US: "Who are you to tell us whether we should have a nuclear program or not?"

The rejected proposal, as laid out in an Axios report on Monday, would have allowed Iran to retain low levels of enrichment for civilian uses like nuclear medicine and commercial power if it agreed to shut down its heavily protected underground sites for a period of time.

The deal would have prevented Iran from conducting new research and developing centrifuges. It would have also required Iran to stop enriching uranium to the higher levels it currently reaches and to mothball its underground enrichment facilities for a to-be-agreed-upon period.

Iran would be able to keep enriching in above-ground facilities to 3 percent, the level needed to fuel a civilian nuclear reactor.

The agreement calls for the eventual creation of a regional consortium to handle uranium enrichment for civilian uses — a plan first studied more than a decade ago in negotiations that led to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Trump withdrew the US from that deal during his first term as president.

The consortium would in theory include the US, Iran and countries such as Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, and possibly The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
, with its enrichment activity monitored by ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors, according to Axios.
All those gyrations to get a deal that Iran would just continue cheating on anyway. as they’ve been doing for over two decades. Just bounce the rubble already — get out of the way so Israel can do what they’ve been rehearsing for ages.
