President Donald Trump said the United States could target Iranian infrastructure if Tehran refuses terms requiring it to surrender enriched uranium, as ceasefire tensions rise.

Donald Trump warned that the United States could carry out widespread strikes against Iranian infrastructure if Tehran declines a proposed agreement centered on its nuclear program, escalating rhetoric as negotiations resume and a fragile ceasefire faces renewed strain.
In a public statement posted on Truth Social, Trump said the U.S. has offered Iran what he described as a “very fair and reasonable deal” that includes relinquishing its stockpiles of enriched uranium. He added that failure to accept the terms could lead to significant military action.
“I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” Trump wrote. “They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done.”
The warning comes as U.S. negotiators prepare to return to Islamabad for additional talks. Trump said discussions would resume Monday, with uncertainty surrounding whether JD Vance will lead the delegation. Initial reporting from ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl indicated Vance might not attend due to security concerns, though later reporting cited a senior official saying he would participate.
The renewed diplomatic effort follows a ceasefire agreement that Trump said Iran violated. The president accused Tehran of launching attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz shortly after agreeing to keep the strategic waterway open, alleging that a French ship and a United Kingdom freighter were targeted.
Despite the reported incidents, Trump minimized the long-term impact on U.S. interests, stating that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could redirect global shipping toward American energy markets.
U.S. officials have framed the proposed agreement as a path to resolving concerns over Iran’s nuclear activities. However, Iranian leadership has publicly rejected key provisions. Saeed Khatibzadeh told the Associated Press in remarks published here that transferring enriched material to the United States is not under consideration.
“I can tell you that no enriched material is going to be shipped to United States,” Khatibzadeh said. “This is non-starter and I can assure you that while we are ready to address any concerns that we do have, we’re not going to accept things that are nonstarters.”
Separate coverage has highlighted broader economic pressure on Iran’s energy sector, with a U.S. naval blockade reported to be constraining the country’s oil exports and storage capacity, according to Breitbart. Analysts cited in those reports indicate that continued restrictions could force production slowdowns if storage facilities reach capacity.
Trump said prior threats against Iranian infrastructure contributed to securing the existing ceasefire, though it remains unclear whether the current negotiations will produce a lasting agreement. He concluded his remarks by stating, “It’s time for the Iranian killing machine to end.”
Diplomatic and military developments are expected to continue in the coming days as negotiations proceed and tensions remain elevated in the region.
