Washington: On April 8, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States will engage with Iran after what he called a 'very productive Regime Change,' stating there will be no uranium enrichment and pledging U.S. cooperation to dig up and remove buried nuclear material. The statement also warned that any country supplying military weapons to Iran would face immediate 50% tariffs; it follows a two‑week ceasefire agreed on Tuesday and sets Islamabad negotiations for Friday to discuss a 15‑point framework and potential tariff and sanctions relief.
