I voted for Donald Trump in 2024, primarily to restore America’s compromised institutions and reverse Obama’s and Biden’s “suicidal” Iran nuclear policies.

However, it’s becoming painfully clear that the progressive communist democrats and their propagandists in the legacy and social media are creating confusion and chaos by misrepresenting the Trump Administration on Iran by quoting anonymous liars and leakers.

According to Axios, the distributor of progressive communist democrats’ talking points…

Scoop: U.S. nuclear deal offer allows Iran to enrich uranium The nuclear deal proposal the U.S. gave Iran on Saturday would allow limited low-level uranium enrichment on Iranian soil for a to-be-determined period of time, Axios has learned, contradicting public statements from top officials. Why it matters:  White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have said publicly that the U.S. will not allow Iran to enrich uranium and will demand the full dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The secret proposal shows far more flexibility on both points. [OCS: If it is classified as “secret,” which traitorous spy or spies leaked to Axios?] What they’re saying:  The White House did not deny any of the details of the proposal described to Axios. [OCS: Why would any administration in its right mind confirm or deny the details of its “secret” negotiations?] "President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never obtain a nuclear bomb. Special Envoy Witkoff has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and it's in their best interest to accept it. Out of respect for the ongoing deal, the Administration will not comment on details of the proposal to the media," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. Breaking it down:  The proposal Witkoff submitted on Saturday describes “preliminary ideas” to be discussed in the next round of talks. Under the proposal, Iran would not be allowed to build any new enrichment facilities and must “dismantle critical infrastructure for conversion and processing of uranium.” The proposal also states that Iran would have to halt new research and development on centrifuges.

Why Centrifuges Matter

The issue with allowing Iran—or any state with nuclear ambitions—to retain uranium enrichment capabilities, particularly centrifuges, centers on the concept of “breakout time”: the amount of time it would take to enrich uranium to weapons-grade once a decision to do so is made.

Centrifuges are used to enrich uranium, increasing the proportion of the isotope U-235:

• Low-enriched uranium (LEU) (~3–5% U-235) is used for nuclear power.

• Highly enriched uranium (HEU) (≥90% U-235) is used for nuclear weapons.

Enrichment is a gradual process, done in stages:

• The same centrifuges can be used repeatedly to reach higher levels.

• Therefore, limiting the number of centrifuges or their sophistication is key to increasing breakout time.

The Folly of Permitting Centrifuges:

1. Dual-use technology: Even if enrichment is capped at civilian levels, the infrastructure remains in place to ramp up quickly.

2. Time becomes the only variable: Once the infrastructure is there, enriching to bomb-grade is just a matter of:

   • Time

   • Political will

   • A decision to eject inspectors or conceal enrichment

3. Verification is not foolproof: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections are robust, but cannot guarantee detecting clandestine activities in real time.

4. Proliferation precedent: Allowing enrichment legitimizes other nations’ future demands to do the same under the guise of peaceful use.

What did the President Say?

Danger Ahead

During strategic government negotiations with hostile foreign nations, leaks from anonymous sources pose significant risks to national security and diplomatic stability.

• Such disclosures can undermine the credibility of official representatives, disrupt delicate bargaining processes, and provide adversaries with critical insights into internal deliberations, negotiation tactics, or political divisions.
• When sensitive information is prematurely revealed, it may embolden hostile actors to exploit perceived weaknesses or adjust their strategies to gain leverage.
• Additionally, anonymous leaks can damage trust among allies and stakeholders, who may fear compromised confidentiality. Ultimately, these breaches not only jeopardize immediate diplomatic efforts but can also erode long-term national interests and global influence.

Bottom line…

You cannot indefinitely contain a nuclear program that retains the core centrifuge technology for weaponization. Limiting enrichment capability—ideally to zero—is not just prudent, it’s essential to preventing nuclear proliferation.

As a Trump supporter, I expect honor, consistency, and spine from this administration, what I apparently got from Axios was nothing but bluster and bullshit.
