President Trump is pledging a nuclear agreement with Iran under which Tehran's enriched uranium would be exported and incoming funds would be restricted to humanitarian purposes, Israeli media report. The proposal was detailed by Channel 14 correspondent Dror Balazada, who noted Israeli concern that the deal could reset Iran to its pre-'Roar of the Lion' status.
President Trump is publicly outlining a nuclear agreement with Iran that would export Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile and cap incoming revenue to humanitarian uses only, according to a report by Channel 14 correspondent Dror Balazada published shortly before 16:30 Jerusalem time.
The pledge comes amid a dramatic escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions over the past 72 hours. As The Zioneer reported, Trump declared an end to the ceasefire on June 10 and authorized heavy strikes on Iranian infrastructure following an incident in which an Iranian drone nearly downed a U.S. Apache helicopter. Background items in the desk's archive show that on June 11 U.S. officials insisted the president had not abandoned diplomacy, and by the evening of that day Trump was announcing what he called a 'wonderful deal' with Iran — with signing possible within days.
Balazada's report frames the president's renewed promise in a conflict context: Iran's IRGC Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters had just issued a threat that 'the crimes of the Zionists in Dahieh will not go unanswered,' and Channel 14 source Boaz Golan co-signed the dispatch. The report emphasizes Israeli concern that the emerging framework might restore Iran's position to what it was before Israel's 'Roar of the Lion' operation — a military offensive that targeted Iranian nuclear assets in Iran earlier this year.
As of Wednesday afternoon, no official White House, State Department, or Iranian statement has corroborated the specific details of the uranium-export-and-humanitarian-fund pledge. The desk will update as further sourcing emerges.
