Trump’s Uranium Seizure Demand Raises Fears of World War III — Pakistan’s Peace Plan Sabotaged

Washington / Tel Aviv — International Desk
United States President Donald Trump has set a critical condition for any potential ceasefire with Iran — the seizure of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile — a demand analysts warn could push the already volatile region to the brink of a third world war.
According to diplomatic sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contacted Trump in a late-night phone call, urging him to reject any ceasefire agreement with Iran. During the conversation, Trump reportedly assured Netanyahu that even if a ceasefire were considered, it would not proceed without the removal of Iran’s enriched uranium — a condition Tehran is unlikely to accept.
In a significant diplomatic setback, a peace framework proposed by Pakistan aimed at halting the escalating conflict was effectively sabotaged by Israel’s intervention. Islamabad had been working behind the scenes to broker a settlement between the warring parties, but Netanyahu’s pressure on Washington undermined those efforts before they could gain traction.
Nuclear experts and international security analysts have issued stark warnings, stating that any forcible attempt to seize Iran’s nuclear material would constitute an unprecedented provocation, potentially triggering a catastrophic military response with global consequences.
The United Nations and key world powers have renewed calls for urgent diplomatic engagement, warning that the window for a peaceful resolution is rapidly closing.
