Experts warn that any new Iran deal under the Trump administration must close the plutonium pathway to nuclear weapons. Fox News emphasizes codifying a ban on plutonium reprocessing and exposing covert pathways associated with Iran’s Bushehr and Arak facilities as part of the deal. The New York Post highlights Trump pledging to confiscate Iran’s leftover nuclear material and claims Space Force is monitoring facilities from space. Washington Times reports energy prices tied to Iran negotiations, with official hedging on future gas prices. Taken together, sources stress tightening controls on plutonium, while energy market bets hinge on Iran conflict duration and oil flow, with no consensus on timeline.
