WASHINGTON — The U.S. will not allow any uranium enrichment as part of any deal with Iran under any deal the countries reach, President Donald Trump said.

Trump made the comment in a social media post Monday evening, without elaborating. The U.S. president has regularly signaled that he thinks a deal may be near, and said Iran could face military strikes otherwise.

Trump has long pledged that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. He also said last week that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a military strike on Iran would be “inappropriate” right now as “we’re very close to a solution.”

Iran, meanwhile, has said it wants clear assurances of the end of sanctions in any deal. The U.S. has not yet been willing to specify how sanctions would be lifted, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, said during a press conference in Tehran on Monday.
