Donald Trump has agreed to a major concession to end the war in Iran: allowing the Islamic Republic to retain some of its civilian nuclear program.
'Now, on the civilian nuclear program, I think that we have to be very careful and very precise here,' a senior White House official discussing the pending memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran told reporters on a call Friday afternoon.
'We're not bothered at all by the idea of civilian power plants in Iran; what we're bothered by is the type of infrastructure that would allow them to jump from civilian power generation to nuclear weapons development.'
The official pointed to how the United Arab Emirates has a civilian nuclear power program that could not be turned into a bomb-making operation.
The revelation indicates that the Trump administration has given Iran the green light to hold onto its civilian nuclear power plants as long as those sites cannot be used to create a nuclear weapon.
What safeguards would be put in place to prevent Iran from scaling up its nuclear power plants to bomb-making facilities is unclear, but any steps taken by the Islamic Republic to make a nuclear weapon would derail any potential deal.
Trump has long stressed that any end to the war would be predicated on Iran giving up its nuclear capabilities, particularly its uranium enrichment labs that US intelligence claims can make weapons-grade fuel.

This is not a concession.
Crap.
Did Trump cave for gas prices?
That’s literally been the US position since before the war.
Nuclear power uses ~3-4% U235.
The concern is bomb, or near bomb, grade uranium.
Cave what? This has been the US position since before the war.
It’s only a “concession” in the mind of the headline writer to fool you.
Bingo!
He blinked. Isn’t the fact that we use uranium instead of thorium because uranium can easily be made into weapons grade material?
Don’t believe the Daily Fail
Trump doesn’t have a lot of good options here. All of our Gulf allies (except Israel and UAE) want this war over and don’t want the US using its bases any more. Not easy conducting a war with Iran when the Gulf countries won’t let us use their airspace. Then there’s the pressure of a worldwide economic collapse should this war continue for much longer. This wasn’t our war to begin with it was a war for Israel.
Has the mainstream leftist media ever heard of the book, The Art of the Deal?
What about the 60% enriched Uranium Hexaflouride Gas buried in steel cannisters?
You know, the amount that can make 11 bombs?
Will that be turned over?
No, it will not. But POTUS will sign the deal anyway.
He desperately wants a deal, that’s apparent to everyone in the world.
Complete and utter failure. He signs this deal and he is WORSE than Obama - we had them down and fighting for their last breath and he lets them up. This is like giving Japan and Nazi Germany the wins after their epic beat downs.
Trump reserves his place alongside Jimmy Carter if he does this. Sad turning point to what started out as such a great presidency.
Yes. THis gives IRan a path back to nuke grade material over time, regardeless of what some are saying on here.
Is there a new edition of that book that addresses Trump's Greenland idiocy? Because that might actually make interesting reading.
No, we didn't.
It would seem that DJT was never properly briefed that if he attacked Iran, the country would be engaged in not one, but two simultaneous wars; one would be military and the other would be economic.
We know (from his boasts) how soundly the Iranian military has been defeated. Unfortunately, for as long as the Strait remains effectively closed, Iran is winning the economic war. (And if Iran is winning the economic war, the regime change everyone was hoping for would probably take place here in the US before it would take place in Iran.)
You mean Greenland, the most vital of all strategic military locations?
On the planet?
President Donald J. Trump?
100% failure!
How can Iran win an economic war when most of their money and all of their oil has been taken from them?
