President Trump demands Iran fully end nuclear enrichment, opposing his envoy's more lenient proposal.

President Trump insists that Iran must fully dismantle its nuclear enrichment program as part of any deal to ease sanctions, contradicting a proposal by his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, which allowed for low-level enrichment for civilian uses. The U.S. and Iran have been engaged in direct nuclear talks, with Trump framing the negotiations as a way to avoid military conflict. Meanwhile, Iran has increased its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium, though it claims its program is for peaceful purposes.
