Trump Discusses Potential Deal with Iran Regarding Uranium

In an interview on June 5, 2026, President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. would collaborate with Iran to retrieve and destroy its highly enriched uranium if a deal could be reached to end the ongoing conflict between the two nations. Trump indicated that if an agreement is not achieved, the U.S. would take military action to degrade Iran's military capabilities to facilitate the collection of the material. He mentioned that the U.S. has advanced surveillance technology to monitor activities related to uranium. Trump expressed optimism about negotiations, stating that the two sides are close to signing a pact but emphasized the need for Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions further. He noted that he finds Iran's new leadership to be more rational and is open to direct talks with the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The interview took place in Wisconsin and was marked by interruptions due to technical issues and weather. Polls indicate that a majority of the public opposes the war, with many favoring a quick resolution. Trump attributed Iran's nuclear developments to previous administrations, particularly referencing the deal made under President Obama.
