Trump: No Uranium Enrichment, US-Iran to Eliminate 'Nuclear Dust'

US President Donald Trump stated that the US will work with Iran to dig up and eliminate uranium buried in the country. Trump made this claim in a social media post as the two-week ceasefire began.

“The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has undergone what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no uranium enrichment, and the United States, working with Iran, will dig up and eliminate all ‘Nuclear Dust’ (B-2 Bomber Aircraft) that is deeply buried,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, as reported by CNN on Wednesday (8/4/2026).

Trump also said that sanctions relief for Iran will be discussed and that many aspects of the 15-point plan have been agreed upon. Trump and Tehran had previously stated that the 10-point plan proposed by Iran would serve as the basis for talks.

“We are, and will be, discussing Tariff and Sanctions Relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have been agreed upon,” Trump wrote.

In a second social media post on Wednesday morning US time, Trump warned that any country supplying weapons to Iran will face tariffs.

“Countries supplying Military Weapons to Iran will immediately be Tariffs’d, for all goods sold to the United States, 50%, effective immediately. No exceptions or waivers!” he said.

Trump also suggested that the United States might get involved in securing the Strait of Hormuz in a “joint venture” with Iran.

“We are considering doing it as a joint venture,” Trump told ABC News when asked about Tehran imposing tolls for passing through the strait. “This is a way to secure it–also secure it from many others.”

It is unclear whether Iran would be open to this plan, as talks are expected to continue during the two-week ceasefire.

Earlier this week, Trump said that he prefers the US, not Iran, to impose duties on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
