President Donald Trump has put forward a new deal to the Iranian government aimed at halting its nuclear ambitions, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Leavitt confirmed the development during a press briefing, stating that the proposal was delivered through real estate executive Steve Witkoff, who has reportedly been involved in informal diplomatic channels.
The deal, described as “simple and straightforward,” includes two core demands:
- No uranium enrichment by Iran
- A complete ban on any efforts to develop a nuclear weapon
Leavitt did not disclose further details about the terms or enforcement mechanisms of the proposal, but emphasized the administration’s continued commitment to ensuring Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
It is not yet clear whether Iranian officials have formally responded to the offer.
The proposal comes amid heightened tensions and speculation over whether the U.S. will pursue diplomatic negotiations or military action in the region. President Trump is expected to make a final decision on further steps toward Iran within the next two weeks.
