Donald Trump has said that Iran must stop enriching uranium if there is to be lasting peace in the Middle East.

Reports indicate that Iran had earlier refused to agree to this condition during previous discussions.

Trump also revealed that the United States plans to help locate and remove enriched uranium that was hidden after military strikes carried out last year.

He added that Iran has already agreed to many parts of his proposed ceasefire plan, which contains about 15 conditions aimed at restoring peace.

In a post shared on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the US would work closely with Iran, adding that the country is expected to undergo major political changes that could lead to progress.

He made it clear that uranium enrichment would not be allowed, while also stating that both countries would work together to remove any remaining nuclear materials under strict monitoring.

Trump further noted that discussions are ongoing regarding the possible removal of tariffs and sanctions on Iran as part of the peace process.

He said several of the proposed conditions have already been accepted, showing signs of progress in the negotiations.

In another message, Trump warned that any country that supplies weapons to Iran would face serious consequences.

According to him, such countries would be hit with a 50 percent tariff on all goods they export to the United States, with no exceptions.
