Trump: US Can Seize Enriched Uranium Without a Deal With Iran

⚠️ WASHINGTON — Trump just told Iran the MOU isn't the only way he takes their uranium. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Declaring he can acquire enriched uranium outside a deal removes Tehran's core negotiating leverage: the threat of retaining enrichment as a bargaining chip. If Trump means seizure or military extraction, Araghchi's team loses the "sign or we keep it" card. This reframes the MOU from mutual agreement to ultimatum — and hands hardliners in Tehran exactly the provocation they need to walk.
