U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed a diplomatic breakthrough in ongoing negotiations with Iran, suggesting that Tehran has agreed to hand over its enriched uranium, which he referred to as “nuclear dust.” According to reports cited by the BBC, Trump stated that the United States would take possession of the material but would not release Iran’s frozen funds in exchange. He presented these conditions as a sign of progress in the discussions.

However, analysts and Iranian officials have disputed Trump’s optimism. Iran’s foreign minister has categorically rejected the idea of sending enriched uranium abroad, while Iranian parliament speaker Bagher Ghalibaf dismissed Trump’s claims as false. These reactions highlight the continuing divide between Washington and Tehran despite Trump’s assertions of success.

The situation remains uncertain as both sides face a critical period that could determine whether diplomacy endures or tensions escalate. Trump has warned that if no agreement is reached, conflict could resume.
