Trump claims Iran 'agreed to almost everything' in nuclear deal, unconfirmed by Iran
President Trump stated at a press conference that the U.S. was 'very close' to a deal with Iran, claiming Iran had 'agreed to almost everything' and would hand over its enriched uranium stockpile. Trump asserted that Iran 'totally agreed' to give up nuclear ambitions and never acquire a nuclear weapon. However, Iranian officials did not confirm these claims, and independent reports indicated no bilateral agreement had been verified. Multiple sources noted the absence of Iranian confirmation of Trump's assertions about the deal's status. This follows a pattern of Trump overstating diplomatic progress, similar to claims made during his first term regarding North Korea negotiations.
