Trump Toughens Iran Deal Terms — Demands Iran Destroy 440.9 kg of Highly Enriched Uranium

| Trump 45 & 47

President Trump sent revised and toughened deal terms back to Tehran on May 30, 2026 — demanding that Iran destroy its stockpile of approximately 440.9 kg of highly enriched uranium (at 60% purity), fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and cooperate on complete nuclear dismantlement as conditions for ending the war. The new framework was a significant escalation beyond the tentative 60-day ceasefire extension framework discussed May 29, and represented Trump's core demand that Iran surrender its nuclear breakout capability entirely. Iranian officials were reviewing the new terms. Trump simultaneously announced via Truth Social the naval blockade would be 'lifted' for the roughly 41 tankers (69 million barrels of oil) already stranded in the Strait — a partial humanitarian gesture that did not end the broader blockade.
