Iran Said It Possesses Enough Uranium For 11 Nukes: Report
U.S. negotiations with Iran broke down after Tehran’s negotiators openly stated their intention to enrich uranium to levels suitable for producing nuclear weapons, according to Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy.
Witkoff recounted that the American delegation was taken aback by this declaration, causing him and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to exchange uneasy glances as the Iranian officials clarified their stance.
“The Iranians made it clear from the start that they believe they have an undeniable right to enrich all the uranium they possess,” Witkoff said in an interview with Fox News. “That was how they opened the talks.”
U.S. negotiators immediately pushed back, with Witkoff stating that Washington believed it had the right to completely shut down Iran’s enrichment activities. Instead of backing down, Iranian officials reinforced their position.
“Jared and I just looked at each other and thought, ‘Is this really happening?’” Witkoff said.
The breakdown became inevitable when Tehran rejected a U.S. proposal that would have frozen enrichment for a decade. Under the plan, the United States offered to supply Iran with nuclear fuel at its expense.
“That was the moment we understood they had no intention of doing anything other than enriching uranium for nuclear weapons,” Witkoff said.
Iranian negotiators acknowledged the size of their nuclear stockpile during the discussions, Witkoff said. Two officials confirmed that they possessed approximately 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent.
Witkoff noted that the Iranians acknowledged the potential conversion of this material into as many as 11 nuclear bombs.
“They weren’t hiding it. They were proud,” he said, noting further that Iranian negotiators also boasted about being able to evade international monitoring systems as the country was enlarging its stockpile.
Tensions escalated sharply during a meeting last Thursday in Geneva when Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shouted after the American delegation reiterated its demand for a ten-year halt to enrichment, according to NBC News.
Witkoff said he responded calmly to the outburst. “If you prefer, I can leave,” he told Araghchi.
Following the collapse of the talks, the U.S. team provided President Trump with an update on the situation. A senior administration official indicated that the president was taken aback by the Iranian delegation’s candid insistence on enrichment. Witkoff noted that the negotiations demonstrated Tehran’s lack of interest in reaching a meaningful compromise.
“President Trump sent us to see if Iran was serious,” he said. “But by the second meeting, it was clear a deal was impossible. We came to the third meeting in good faith, and they wanted us to project optimism. There was nothing optimistic about it.”
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance is doubling down on his message that there is “no chance” the United States will become entangled in a prolonged Middle East war if President Donald Trump authorizes additional military action against Iran.
Speaking aboard Air Force Two on Thursday, Vance stressed that the White House is not contemplating a protracted “nation-building” scenario in Iran with thousands of U.S. military “boots on the ground.”
“The idea that we’re going to be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no end in sight—there is no chance that will happen,” Vance told The Washington Post.
The United States has long maintained that enrichment inside Iran presents a potential pathway to nuclear weapons capability and has stated unequivocally that Tehran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
On social media following an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday, Vance reiterated the administration’s position.
“President Trump will not get the United States into a years-long conflict with no clear objective,” Vance wrote. “Iran can never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. That is the goal of this operation, and President Trump will see it through to completion.”
SENATOR KENNEDY DELIVERS FATAL BLOW TO OMAR'S CAREER AS SHE BLAMES TRUMP FOR SOMALI PANIC
Minneapolis, Minn. — Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) held an emergency press conference in Minneapolis to address what she described as widespread fear within the local Somali community amid reports of intensified federal deportation operations under the Trump administration.
Omar stated that the community was “paralyzed by fear,” with families taking precautions such as mothers avoiding phone calls and fathers sleeping in shifts to guard against potential enforcement actions. She attributed the heightened anxiety and an reported increase in death threats against her and her constituents directly to President Donald Trump, accusing his policies and rhetoric of targeting the community and amounting to “ethnic cleansing disguised as policy.”
Omar characterized the situation as the result of a “white nationalist agenda,” positioning herself as a defender of vulnerable families and calling for national attention to what she termed a humanitarian crisis on American soil.
In response, Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) addressed the matter on the Senate floor shortly after Omar’s remarks. Kennedy acknowledged the reported threats and community anxiety but offered a sharply different interpretation of their cause.
“The Congresswoman is very upset today,” Kennedy said. “She says she is receiving threats. She says her community is afraid. And she blames President Trump for lighting the match.”
He continued by arguing that the fear stemmed not from the president’s actions but from the consequences of Omar’s own past statements about the United States. Kennedy stated that Omar had spent years portraying America as a “hateful, racist, evil place” while benefiting from its opportunities, and that the current backlash represented “the receipts for the division you ordered.”
Kennedy concluded that the situation in Minnesota was not a tragedy caused by external forces but “poetic justice,” adding, “The fear in Minnesota isn’t because Donald Trump is a monster. It’s because for the first time in your career, the law has finally arrived to collect the debt you owe.”
The exchange has drawn significant attention on social media and in political commentary circles. Supporters of Omar have echoed her concerns about community safety and the tone of immigration enforcement, while critics have praised Kennedy’s remarks for reframing the narrative around personal accountability and the long-term effects of political rhetoric.
No official confirmation of specific deportation targets in Minneapolis has been released by the Department of Homeland Security at this time, though administration officials have previously indicated that operations would focus on individuals with criminal records or final removal orders. The incident occurs against the backdrop of ongoing national debates over immigration policy, sanctuary jurisdictions, and the balance between enforcement and community relations.
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the public confrontation between the Minnesota congresswoman and the Louisiana senator has intensified partisan divisions and highlighted contrasting views on the roots of fear and division within immigrant communities.
BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Makes Announcement No One Saw Coming
WASHINGTON, D.C. — June 2, 2026 — A explosive constitutional crisis has erupted on the nation’s highest bench, exposing a terrifying vulnerability on America's interstate highways and drawing a violent line between state sovereignty and federal enforcement.
What happens when sanctuary-state policies weaponize commercial driving licenses, placing undocumented individuals behind the wheels of 80,000-pound death machines? For a furious faction on the Supreme Court, the answer is a total betrayal of public safety. In a dramatic developments on Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas, joined in full by Justice Samuel Alito, issued a blistering, high-threshold dissent after the Supreme Court flatly refused to hear Florida’s blockbuster lawsuit challenging California and Washington for systematically issuing commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to undocumented immigrants in flagrant violation of federal safety standards.
Thomas argued with fierce urgency that the high court had an absolute, unyielding constitutional duty to resolve this escalating interstate warfare, issuing a dark warning that the lax, ideologically driven policies of blue states are actively endangering American roadways and public safety nationwide.
“If this Court does not exercise jurisdiction over a controversy between two States, then the complaining State has no judicial forum in which to seek relief.” — Justice Clarence Thomas
I. THE TURNPIKE MASSACRE: AN 80,000-POUND WEAPON
At the bleeding edge of this legal warfare is a gruesome, real-world tragedy that proves these border disputes are no longer confined to courtrooms.
Thomas used his powerful platform to highlight a deadly 2025 Florida Turnpike crash that shocked the nation. The catastrophic incident involved an undocumented truck driver—licensed exclusively through the lax loopholes of California or Washington—who allegedly executed a fatal, illegal U-turn. Shockingly, investigators revealed the driver could not even read basic American road signs, resulting in a horrific collision that killed three innocent people.
The raw danger of the loophole forced Thomas to issue a chillingly blunt declaration that cut straight through the political noise surrounding the case:
“An illegal alien who cannot read English road signs cannot drive an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer.”
II. THE ADMINISTRATIVE LETHALITY RESPONSE: MARITIME AND HIGHWAY SECURITY
The structural metrics of federal law are completely clear, yet they are being systematically bypassed. Thomas explicitly emphasized that binding federal statutes mandate proper English proficiency, a grueling valid driver’s test, and appropriate, verified immigration status before any individual can legally acquire a commercial license.
This high-stakes case exposes how sanctuary-style policies in liberal states create devastating, border-crossing hazards that spill violently across state lines. This direct defiance collides perfectly with President Donald Trump’s aggressive, heavy-handed immigration enforcement agenda.
Moving at true wartime speed, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has already stepped into the arena, moving decisively to tighten federal rules for non-citizens seeking CDLs. Duffy has issued a stern, high-threshold warning to California, threatening that the state could lose massive tranches of vital federal funding if it continues its reckless defiance of federal guidelines.
III. THE CONSTITUTIONAL ABDICATION
Thomas made it entirely clear that states surrendered their individual rights to ignore such conflicts the moment they joined the Union. Under the original architecture of the Constitution, the Supreme Court must act as the supreme forum for interstate resolution. By walking away from this fight, Thomas accused the majority of cowardice, prioritizing policy preferences over their sacred constitutional oaths.
“We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given.” — Justice Clarence Thomas
In a telling display of ideological alignment, the Court's liberal justices remained entirely silent during the majority’s refusal to take the case, quietly enabling the dangerous, multi-state commercial licensing practice to continue completely unchecked.
THE FINAL VERDICT
This powerful, historic dissent from Justice Thomas reinforces the absolute baseline of President Trump’s America First priorities: secure borders, unyielding public safety, and total accountability from states that put everyday citizens at risk.
As mass deportation operations rapidly expand across the homeland and federal standards are ruthlessly enforced, Thomas’s call for judicial responsibility highlights an urgent, terrifying truth. The nation must immediately end the reckless policies enabling illegal immigrants to operate heavy commercial vehicles across the American grid. As the high court slams its doors, everyday drivers are left to scan the highway lanes and wonder: who is behind the wheel of the next 18-wheeler approaching them in the dark?
