US President Donald Trump has once again described Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile as “nuclear dust” and warned that the ceasefire between Tehran and Washington remains “very fragile.”
Trump said Iran had informed the United States that only China and the US possessed the capability to remove enriched uranium materials buried beneath the rubble of bombed nuclear facilities.
According to Trump, Iran had agreed two days earlier to cooperate with the United States in removing the material but later reversed its position.
The US president did not provide further details regarding the location of the facilities or the nature of the negotiations.
The remarks come as tensions among Iran, the United States, and Israel remain high following attacks on facilities connected to Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that a significant portion of Iran’s nuclear capabilities and enrichment infrastructure was damaged during recent strikes.
At the same time, indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington continue through Pakistani mediation, although major disagreements remain over Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions, and regional security issues.
Analysts say Trump’s warning about the fragility of the ceasefire reflects growing concern in Washington about the possibility of renewed military escalation and the collapse of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Experts also note that the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile remains one of the most sensitive and unresolved issues in the broader confrontation between Tehran and Western powers.
The debate is increasingly shifting beyond enrichment itself toward questions of control, monitoring, and recovery of nuclear materials following military strikes on key facilities.
