US President Donald Trump announced that Washington is close to reaching a significant agreement with Iran aimed at easing ongoing tensions. Speaking at an economic meeting in Las Vegas, he said Iran has agreed to hand over its enriched uranium, one of the main obstacles in the negotiations. Trump added that new talks could begin by the end of the week and described the situation as progressing very well, expressing hope that the conflict would soon end.

Earlier at the White House, Trump stated that Iran had agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and to transfer its enriched uranium, reportedly stored underground after US and Israeli airstrikes. However, Iran has not yet issued any official response to Trump’s claims.

Trump also suggested that the current ceasefire with Iran might not need to be extended, with only five days remaining before it expires.
