AFP reported today: In his final two phone calls before announcing a ceasefire, Trump spoke separately with Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff Munir and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
One was a peacemaker who facilitated negotiations; the other a hardliner pushing for war. Both received calls at the last moment.
Trump told AFP: "The issue of Iran's enriched uranium will be properly addressed."
The statement is deliberately vague. It could mean a deal to dilute nuclear materials—or it might imply he hasn't given up on seizing those materials.
The answers will emerge in the next two weeks.
Commentary: Before the ceasefire, Trump simultaneously called Pakistan to thank them for their mediation efforts while reassuring Israel, which has long wanted to fight. As for the most sensitive issue—how exactly Iran’s enriched uranium will be handled—he intentionally kept his words ambiguous, leaving himself ample room to maneuver.
