گرگ استنتون، معاون رئیسجمهور ایالات متحده، اعلام کرد که ایران باید بهطور قابل توجهی ظرفیتهای غنیسازی هستهای خود را کاهش دهد تا به توافق صلح با ایالات متحده دست یابد و جنگ هفتماهه جاری را پایان دهد. او همچنین به عدم اطمینان واشنگتن درباره رهبری ایران اشاره کرد.
ضرورت کاهش غنیسازی هستهای
استنتون در یک کنفرانس خبری گفت که هر توافقی باید شامل کاهشهای مشخص در ظرفیت غنیسازی ایران باشد و تنها وعدههای آینده کافی نیست. او به خبرنگاران گفت: "اگر نمیخواهید سلاح هستهای داشته باشید، پس چرا به سوخت غنیشده ۶۰ درصد نیاز دارید؟"

نظر ایران در مورد اظهارات آمریکا
ایران این توصیف را رد کرده و سخنگوی وزارت امور خارجه، اسماعیل باقایی، گفت که مقامات آمریکایی نظام حکومتی ایران را درک میکنند و واشنگتن را به دلیل مواضع متناقض و پیامهای مبهم سرزنش کرده است. استنتون همچنین به گفتگو با فرماندهان نظامی آمریکا اشاره کرد و نگرانیها درباره موجودی مهمات را کاهش داد و تأکید کرد که نیروهای ایرانی در برخی موارد موفق به هدف قرار دادن کشتیهای تجاری در تنگه هرمز شدهاند، اما نتوانستهاند حمل و نقل انرژی را در این آبراه متوقف کنند.
استنتون در پاسخ به این سوال که آیا به عنوان مذاکرهکننده اصلی صلح دولت عمل میکند، گفت: "ما قطعاً درگیر هستیم. در نهایت، رئیسجمهور ایالات متحده هدایت امور را به عهده دارد." جنگ جاری که هزینهای حدود ۳ میلیارد دلار در ماه دارد، به یک موضوع سیاسی مهم تبدیل شده است بهویژه با توجه به افزایش قیمت سوخت که بر ترامپ و جمهوریخواهان فشار وارد میکند.
