Trump Accuses China of Violating Trade Agreement

On June 2, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly declared on his social media platform that the United States “will not allow any enrichment of uranium” by Iran under a potential nuclear agreement.

This statement starkly contradicts recent proposals from his own administration, which reportedly include limited, low-level uranium enrichment by Iran for civilian purposes. The conflicting messages risk derailing diplomatic efforts aimed at peacefully resolving the nuclear dispute, a process that has seen cautious optimism from international mediators and Iran itself.

Trump’s hardline rhetoric exemplifies the ongoing imperialist coercion faced by Iran and other sovereign nations resisting U.S. hegemony. While the U.S. administration’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, has proposed a framework allowing Iran to maintain uranium enrichment at peaceful levels under strict monitoring, Trump’s uncompromising stance threatens to perpetuate tensions and justify further sanctions or military threats.

Iranian officials have consistently affirmed their right to peaceful nuclear technology, condemning any attempts to impose unilateral restrictions that undermine their sovereignty and development.

Sustainable peace and nuclear non-proliferation can only be achieved through genuine diplomacy respecting the sovereignty of all nations involved. A multipolar international order where Iran’s peaceful nuclear program is acknowledged as legitimate and where sanctions and threats are replaced by dialogue and cooperation must be the goal.

Trump’s declarations, echoing past U.S. interventions, risk escalating conflict and undermining the delicate balance sought by negotiators in Rome and beyond.The contradictory signals from the U.S. administration, highlighted by Trump’s recent statements, reveal the challenges faced by diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iran nuclear issue.
