United States President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and is prepared to return nuclear material buried deep underground following recent US military strikes.
Speaking during a public address, Trump said a key priority for the United States remains ensuring that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon, adding that Tehran had “agreed to that very powerfully.”

He further claimed that Iran had agreed to hand over what he described as “nuclear dust” located far beneath the surface, which he linked to the aftermath of US airstrikes carried out using B-2 Spirit bombers.
“We have a lot of agreement with Iran,” Trump said. “And I think something is going to happen very positively.”
The remarks come amid heightened global attention on US-Iran relations, particularly around Iran’s nuclear programme and ongoing diplomatic efforts to limit its capabilities.
However, Trump did not provide specific details about the alleged agreement, including how or when the nuclear material would be transferred, or the framework under which the understanding was reached.
As of the time of reporting, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the claims, and international observers have yet to verify the existence of any such agreement.
Trump’s reference to US strikes using B-2 bombers also raises questions, as there has been no widely confirmed report of recent American airstrikes targeting underground nuclear facilities in Iran.
The development, if confirmed, could signal a significant shift in US-Iran relations and ongoing efforts to curb nuclear proliferation in the region.
