Donald Trump is reportedly contemplating an agreement that would allow Iran to restart uranium enrichment in ten years. This development comes in the aftermath of a tense exchange with his top military generals after Iran shot down an American aircraft, resulting in the loss of two pilots.

According to sources cited by the New York Times, the proposed deal would require Iran to halt its uranium enrichment activities for a decade. Following this period, Iran would be allowed to produce a limited amount of low-enriched uranium over the next ten years.

Trump initially advocated for a 20-year suspension of Iran’s enrichment activities. His concern was that a shorter timeframe might resemble the 2015 nuclear agreement, which he has criticized and subsequently withdrew from.

The agreement established under former President Barack Obama restricted Iran from enriching uranium beyond civilian levels for a period of 15 years.

However, Trump now seems more open to negotiating as he seeks to conclude ongoing conflicts. This shift in stance follows a reported outburst with his senior military advisers.

The Wall Street Journal reports that following the recent downing of a U.S. jet, Trump was visibly upset, reportedly expressing his anger for hours. During this crisis, Trump was not present as his team received real-time updates on the situation.

On April 3, an F-15E Strike Eagle with two crew members was shot down by Iranian forces in a dramatic escalation of the war.

It was believed to be the first US plane brought down by enemy fire during the conflict, as images of the wreckage circulated widely on social media.

Following the news, images of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis loomed heavily in Trump’s mind, according to the report. 

Trump reportedly demanded that the military retrieve the pilots immediately, but US troops hadn’t been on the ground in Iran since the government overthrow that led to the hostage crisis. 

Aides updated Trump at meaningful moments, a senior administration official told the outlet.

While one pilot was rescued seven hours later, the other remained missing until late Saturday evening, when he was finally saved in a high-stakes extraction.

It wasn’t until after 2am that Trump went to bed. 

The Daily Mail has contacted the White House for comment. 

Trump issued a statement on Monday morning claiming Israel never ‘talked me into the war with Iran.’ 

‘The results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did,’ Trump added. 

‘I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged.’

‘Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing,’ he continued. ‘And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!’

The report comes as peace talks hang in the balance with Iranian state news claiming the regime has ‘no plans’ for upcoming peace talks with the US. 

Pakistani and US officials have claimed that Iran is interested in further talks in Pakistan despite the regime’s public messaging.

Tehran said it was planning to attack US force in retaliation for the Navy’s raid on an Iranian tanker which tried to breach the American blockade on Sunday

Over the weekend, Tehran said it was planning to attack US force in retaliation for the Navy’s raid on an Iranian tanker which tried to breach the American blockade on Sunday.

US Central Command announced Sunday that sailors aboard the USS Spruance opened fire on an Iranian oil tanker after it failed to heed multiple warnings to turn back in the Strait of Hormuz.   

Writing on Truth Social over the weekend, Trump said: ‘Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them.’

The regime responded by stating it was ‘ready to decisively confront the American aggressor forces’, but postponed strikes at the last moment due to safety concerns, according to state media.

On Monday morning, Brent crude futures were up by 4.74 per cent at $94.66 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was 5.6 per cent higher at $88.55.
