The deal the Trump Administration is attempting to reach with the Iranian government on Iran’s nuclear program would allow Iran to maintain a civilian nuclear program, i24NEWS reported Tuesday evening, citing a source familiar with the talks.
“Iran will be able to maintain a civilian nuclear program for electricity production, such as the reactor in Bushehr, even if it has to completely dismantle its nuclear [weapons] program,” the source stated.
The source added, “Trump said that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, military nuclear facilities no, but civilian nuclear yes. Therefore, even if the facilities that contain the centrifuges and enable uranium enrichment have to be destroyed, Iran will be able to retain a civilian nuclear program.”
On Monday, US President Donald Trump stated during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will begin “direct talks” with Iran on Iran’s nuclear weapons program this weekend.
Whether or not Iran agrees to this new proposal will surely reveal what their true intentions are regarding their nuclear capabilities.
