Iran is proposing a joint uranium enrichment project with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and US companies, aiming to build its nuclear program in a way that guarantees it is civilian. The idea has been sparked by economic sanctions and the threat of military action from Israel. By working together, Iran hopes to avoid being bombed and strangled economically.
The proposal envisions a consortium that includes Iranians, Arabs, Americans, and private investors. This collaboration would enable easy verification that the uranium enrichment process remains for peaceful purposes, such as generating electricity or producing medical isotopes. The project’s success could make the region safer and appeal to President Trump’s fondness for large-scale deals.
