US Prez Trump claims Iran agrees to resume uranium enrichment under ceasefire deal; Iranian officials offer no comment

Washington/Tehran, Apr 8 (UNI) Following the US-Iran ceasefire, President Donald Trump today said that Iran had agreed not resume uranium enrichment, claiming that Washington and Tehran would cooperate to secure the country's existing stockpile of highly enriched material, though this statement has not been publicly confirmed by Iranian officials.
For their part, officials in Tehran have long maintained that the Islamic Republic's uranium cache is its sovereign right and not intended for weaponisation, claiming that it is used solely for civilian applications such as energy production and medical use, and has refused any compromise on the matter.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that Iran's uranium, enriched to over 60 per cent, is believed to be buried beneath the heavily damaged Isfahan facility following the US-Israeli strikes in June 2025, and would be recovered under joint supervision.
