White House urges Iran to accept nuclear deal as uranium stockpile grows

The White House said on Saturday that it is “Iran’s interest” accepting “its proposal on a nuclear deal after a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which says the country quickly increases its stock of enriched uranium at the arms level.

“president Trump explained that Iran could never get a nuclear bomb,” White House press secretary Caroline Levit said in a statement. A special envoy [Steve] Witkoff has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and they are in their interest to accept it. In respect of the ongoing deal, the administration will not comment on the details of the proposal to the media. ”

The International Atomic Energy Agency report said that Iran has increased its store to 900.8 pounds of enriched uranium by up to 60 % as of May 17, an increase of approximately 50 % since the agency’s last report in February, which placed the stock at 605.8 pounds.

The report said that Iran is “the only non -nuclear weapon country that produces such materials,” and it is a “serious concern”.

The International Atomic Energy Agency added that only 92 lubricants of enriched uranium 60 % are sufficient to produce an atomic bomb if fertilized to 90 %.

Iran confirms that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but US intelligence agencies say that the country “has done better activities in the production of a nuclear device, if it chooses it.”

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Atomic Energy Organization in Iran said in a joint statement that the report was based on “unreliable and difference information sources”, claiming that it was biased and unprofessional.

The statement added: “The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its disappointment towards the report, which was prepared by imposing pressure on the agency for political purposes, and expresses his clear objection to its content.”

On Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragichi wrote to X that he was not sure that a nuclear agreement in the United States of Iran could be reached.

“Iran is true about a diplomatic solution that serves the interests of all parties. But reaching there requires an agreement that ends all sanctions and supports Iranian nuclear rights – including fertilization,” he wrote.

Amman Foreign Minister Badr Al -Busididi submitted the first official proposal to the Trump administration in Tehran on Saturday, which calls on Iran to stop enriching uranium and regional consortium that includes Iran, Saudi Arabia, other Arab states and the United States to produce nuclear power, according to the New York Times, quoting people familiar with the document.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also submitted a rare statement on Saturday on the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency, describing it as a “grave.”

The Netanyahu office said: “The agency provides a blatant picture as a clear warning mark: Despite countless warnings by the international community, Iran is completely determined to complete the nuclear weapons program.”

“The report strongly reinforces what Israel says for years – the purpose of the Iranian nuclear program is not peaceful. This is clear from the worrying range of uranium enrichment activity in Iran. Such a level of enrichment is only in countries that follow nuclear weapons activity and has no civil justification at all.

“The report clearly indicates that Iran is still not complying with its basic obligations and obligations under the Non -Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and continues to block cooperation from the IAEA inspectors. The international community must now act to stop Iran.”
