Trump: Iran has ‘somewhat agreed' to terms of a deal
President Donald Trump said Iran has 'somewhat agreed' to the terms of a potential long-term agreement with the United States, signaling progress in ongoing negotiations aimed at defusing tensions over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program. 'We are in very serious negotiations with Iran to reach a long-term peace,' Trump said, adding that the US seeks to resolve the Iran issue 'in a smart, but not violent, way.' Donald Trump, in his first term as president, effectively torpedoed the accord in 2018 by unilaterally withdrawing the US. Since returning to office in January, Trump has revived his campaign on Tehran, backing nuclear diplomacy but warning of military action if it fails. He also reaffirmed Washington's strategic role in the region, stating, 'America is a strong ally of the Middle East.' Speaking on broader foreign policy, Trump criticized US aid oversight in Ukraine: 'We don't know where the money we gave to Ukraine went,' he said. 'The war in Ukraine must stop.' Turning to defense, Trump claimed the US possesses 'the most powerful military in the world—not Russia or China,' and 'the most powerful weapons in the world.'
