U.S. President Donald Trump said on April 8 that the United States will work closely with Iran’s new leadership to eliminate Tehran’s nuclear capabilities, including extracting and removing what he described as deeply buried enriched uranium, as part of a broader push toward a peace deal.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran had undergone what he called a “very productive” regime change that has pledged no further uranium enrichment, adding that Washington would “work closely” with Tehran to “dig up and remove all of the deeply buried … Nuclear ‘Dust.’”

Trump is ratcheting up the stakes with Iran, declaring the U.S. will work “closely” with Tehran’s new leadership to wipe out its nuclear capability — including digging up and hauling off what he called deeply buried enriched uranium — as part of a push for a peace deal. In a Truth Social post, Trump said Iran had seen a “very productive” regime change and claimed the new leadership has pledged to stop further uranium enrichment, setting up a high-wire showdown over whether this can actually defuse the nuclear threat.
