Analysis Summary
Trump repeated at a Phoenix rally today that the U.S. will obtain Iran's enriched uranium—called "nuclear dust"—saying "we were going to take it anyway." The Washington Post reports Iran has not confirmed this claim and that giving up highly enriched uranium would represent a major step toward a ceasefire agreement. The broader context: Trump is currently seeking an end to the two-month Iran war and framing the conflict in terms of U.S. leverage, though some of his own supporters at the event expressed opposition to continuing the war.
