US Meeting With Iran Next Week, Trump Says, While Suggesting Nuclear Deal Is No Longer Necessary

President Trump announced that the US will meet with Iran next week to discuss a potential nuclear agreement, but he doesn't think it's necessary since the US has already destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump reiterated his demand for no nuclear enrichment, despite uncertainty about the location of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles. The US Secretary of State, Rubio, stated that a deal would depend on Iran's willingness to negotiate directly with the US. However, there are doubts about whether Iran's core nuclear program was really destroyed, and some speculate that Iran may continue enriching uranium in secret. The US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last weekend reportedly killed 627 people and injured 4,870 others. Trump seems to be downplaying the importance of a nuclear agreement, which may incentivize Iran to secretly pursue nuclear weaponization. The situation raises questions about the accuracy of Trump's claims and the true state of Iran's nuclear program.
