President Trump on Monday evening pushed back on another fake news story floated by Axios.
Earlier Monday, Axios published what they called a “scoop” on President Trump’s nuclear deal with Iran.
According to the report published by Axios, President Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, submitted a proposal to Iran that would allow low-level uranium enrichment.
Of course, this contradicts President Trump’s public statements vowing to never allow Iran to enrich uranium.
President Trump’s Cabinet members have also said publicly that Iran will never be allowed to enrich uranium.
Here is an excerpt from Axios:
The nuclear deal proposal the U.S. gave Iran on Saturday would allow limited low-level uranium enrichment on Iranian soil for a to-be-determined period of time, Axios has learned, contradicting public statements from top officials.
Why it matters: White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have said publicly that the U.S. will not allow Iran to enrich uranium and will demand the full dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The secret proposal shows far more flexibility on both points.
The intrigue: Iran has consistently said it won’t sign any deal that bans enrichment for civilian purposes — a red line that is irreconcilable with the U.S. public posture.
But the proposal described to Axios by two sources with direct knowledge — one of whom provided a point-by-point breakdown — would seem to offer a clearer path to a deal.
By making this offer, the Trump administration is risking backlash from its allies on the Hill and in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and dozens of Republican senators have pushed the administration to maintain red lines on zero nuclear enrichment and the full dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program.
President Trump lashed out at the Biden Regime, AKA, “The Autopen,” and said his administration will not allow any enrichment of uranium.
“The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from “enriching.” Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” Trump said on Monday evening.
