Trump says US to hold nuclear talks with Iran next week
Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would likely seek a commitment from Iran to end its nuclear ambitions at talks next week and credited U.S. strikes on Iran with bringing a swift end to the war between Israel and Tehran.
Trump said his decision to unleash huge bunker-busting bombs in Sunday's attack had devastated Iran's nuclear program and called the outcome "a victory for everybody".
"It was very severe. It was obliteration," he said, shrugging off an initial assessment by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency that Iran's path to building a nuclear weapon may have been set back only by months.
Meanwhile, anxious Iranians and Israelis sought to resume normal life after 12 days of the most intense confrontation ever between the two foes and a ceasefire that took effect Tuesday.
Speaking in The Hague where he attended a NATO summit on Wednesday, Trump said he did not see Iran again engaging in nuclear weapons development. Tehran has for decades denied accusations by Western leaders that it is seeking nuclear arms.
"We're going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We may sign an agreement. I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary," Trump said. Reuters

Iran hints at exporting enriched uranium
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, said Saturday that Tehran is open to transferring its stockpile of enriched uranium abroad if an agreement is reached with the United States on the nuclear file. According to Al-Monitor, Iravani stated that moving uranium enriched to 20% and 60% is not a red line for Iran. However, he noted that the alternative would be to keep the stockpile inside the country under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). At the same time, Iravani reaffirmed Iran's right to domestically produce uranium, a demand the United States firmly opposes, and emphasized that Iran will not accept any restrictions on its ballistic missile program. He stressed that any future agreement must include the lifting of international sanctions on Iran as a fundamental condition, in addition to addressing other equally important issues. Iravani's remarks came just hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X, expressing Iran's readiness 'in principle' to resume nuclear talks with Washington. However, he called on US President Donald Trump to 'tone down his rhetoric' toward the Iranian leadership. 'If President Trump is serious about reaching a deal, he must abandon his disrespectful and unacceptable tone toward Mr. Khamenei, and stop insulting the millions of his devoted followers,' Araghchi said. 'Goodwill generates goodwill, and respect fosters respect.' Trump had recently stated that a new round of talks with Iran would take place next week, without providing further details. Previous rounds of negotiations between the two sides have repeatedly stalled.
