US EditionTrump says Iran agreed to suspend nuclear program indefinitely, deal to end war ‘mostly complete’
Trump said the main points are finalized as negotiators weigh $20 billion in frozen funds against limits on Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
- The president stated that Iran has agreed to an "unlimited" and "indefinite" suspension of its nuclear program, a significant shift from previous negotiations that discussed 20-year time limits.
- In a "no money exchanged" arrangement, the U.S. plans to secure and remove Iran's remaining enriched uranium—which the president referred to as "nuclear dust"—utilizing heavy machinery for excavation and transport back to the United States.
- While the Strait of Hormuz has been declared open for commercial passage, the president emphasized that the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports will remain in "full force and effect" until the final document is signed.
- Negotiations for the "lasting agreement" are expected to take place this weekend, with the president noting he "might" travel to Islamabad, Pakistan, to finalize the deal with Iranian representatives.
