US President Donald Trump says Iran has agreed not to develop a nuclear weapon, speaking in an interview about efforts to end hostilities. Trump also indicates he is considering a possible meeting with Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if “things work out,” describing the leader as involved in talks and saying Iran’s side shows “a lot of respect” for him. Multiple outlets report Trump’s comments about Khamenei’s role in the negotiations, adding that Trump has not yet met him personally but would like to do so depending on how the process develops. One source also reports Trump characterizes the Iran-related conflict as having been a “success,” and says the US is working on a deal; he adds that if negotiations do not lead to an agreement, the US would proceed in another way, without specifying what that would entail. Separately, Trump says the US can access uranium without requiring a deal, and he previously says he has no current interest in meeting Khamenei, while still leaving open the possibility of a future meeting if negotiations reach a breakthrough. The reports do not include independent confirmation of Iran’s commitments or details of any agreement terms.
