Prediction markets put the probability at 56%: Iran agrees to surrender enriched uranium stockpile by December 31, 2026. Currently, markets are divided (56% YES, 44% NO). Trump says Iranians have "agreed to everything," including removal of enriched uranium.
On Friday, April 17, 2026, President Donald Trump stated in a phone interview that Iran had "agreed to everything," including working with the U.S. to remove its enriched uranium stockpile, which he said would be brought to the United States. This followed his social media posts claiming Iran would keep the Strait of Hormuz open, a claim seemingly corroborated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's announcement of open passage during a ceasefire. The central question of whether Iran agrees to surrender enriched uranium stockpile by the 2026 deadline now hinges on translating these public pronouncements into a verifiable agreement.

Substantive negotiations appear to be underway, with Axios reporting that a potential $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal is under discussion, wherein frozen Iranian funds would be released in exchange for the uranium stockpile. However, significant gaps remain, as highlighted by The Washington Post, which notes the U.S. demand for a permanent end to enrichment contrasts with a reported 20-year moratorium proposed by the U.S. negotiating team. Skeptical analysts and regional observers caution that Tehran's public stance has not explicitly confirmed the sweeping concessions described by President Trump, and past diplomatic efforts have foundered on verification and the scope of nuclear activities.

The path to a final deal where Iran agrees to surrender enriched uranium stockpile will be determined by the resolution of core technical and political disputes. Key structural factors include the verification mechanism for uranium removal, the timing of financial sanctions relief, and the status of Iran's regional proxy networks, which Trump also cited in his remarks. The outcome of the anticipated weekend negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials will provide the next concrete indicator of whether a binding agreement can be finalized before the year-end deadline.
