President Donald Trump released new details about the two-week ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran on Wednesday, insisting that Tehran will no longer pursue uranium enrichment.
“There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear ‘Dust,’” Trump said on Truth Social, referring to the contaminated debris left after the U.S. military mission to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025.
Preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon has been a key goal of Operation Epic Fury.
“It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!),” he added. “Nothing has been touched from the date of attack. We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been been agreed to.”
US AND IRAN AGREE TO TWO-WEEK CEASEFIRE AFTER TRUMP ACCEPTS ‘WORKABLE’ 10-POINT PLAN
The president’s statement contradicted Iran’s Tuesday statement celebrating the ceasefire deal, which claimed the U.S. had agreed to enrichment.
“In this plan, America fundamentally commits to guaranteeing non-aggression, continuing Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, accepting enrichment, lifting all primary and secondary sanctions,” the Supreme National Security Council said.
The U.S. had a 15-point demand list, while Iran sent a 10-point proposal during the negotiations. Both sides overlapped on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran said it wanted to do so under its own conditions.
As part of the agreement, Iran is permitting safe passage for commercial vessels to sail through the key maritime lane during the two-week ceasefire. Additionally, Iran will charge tolls on ships passing through the strait. It was supposed to be done in coordination with Oman, but the Gulf state said it had no plans to charge transit fees.
When asked about tolling, Trump said that responsibility may be taken up by the U.S. and Iran in a joint effort.
“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people,” he told ABC News. “It’s a beautiful thing.” Although Trump is pleased with the deal, the ceasefire lasts only 14 days unless both sides reach another agreement. Vice President JD Vance has called the new deal a “fragile truce.”

“The President of the United States has told me, and he’s told the entire negotiating team, secretary of state, the special envoy Steve Witkoff, he said, go and work in good faith to come to an agreement,” Vance told Reuters.
“He’s impatient. He’s impatient to make progress. He has told us to negotiate in good faith, and I think if they negotiate in good faith, we will be able to find a deal,” he said. “But that’s a big if, and ultimately, it’s up to the Iranians how they negotiate. I hope they make the right decision.”
