Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced that a nuclear deal with Iran is close to completion. However, Trump firmly warned that military action remains a distinct option if negotiations ultimately fail. He stated his administration’s top priority is ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon, a condition he says Iran has now agreed to. The President noted that negotiators have expanded the terms to explicitly bar Iran from not just developing, but also purchasing, any military-grade nuclear weapon. Trump described the talks as difficult but expressed confidence in progress toward US demands.
