Special Envoy Steve Witkoff emphasized the necessity for Iran to cease its nuclear enrichment and weapons program to facilitate a new nuclear deal. While initially suggesting that Iran could maintain civilian-grade facilities, he clarified that any agreement hinges on rigorous verification processes for enrichment levels and preventing weaponization. He stated that the goal is a comprehensive deal to foster peace and stability in the Middle East, acting under the directives of President Trump who seeks a fair and durable arrangement with Iran.
Any final arrangement must set a framework for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Middle East - meaning that Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program.
It is imperative for the world that we create a tough, fair deal that will endure, and that is what President Trump has asked me to do.
Verification would be required to ensure Iran was not weaponizing its nuclear program, including the missiles they have stockpiled and the trigger for a bomb.
Witkoff insisted that Iran does not need to enrich uranium past 3.67%, despite their current enrichment levels being at 20% and 60% in some circumstances.
