  • Trump Claims Progress in Negotiations with Iran is 'Very Smooth'

    On June 4, local time June 3, U.S. President Trump stated that negotiations with Iran are progressing very smoothly, with a new round of talks potentially taking place this weekend. Once the agreement is signed, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened immediately. Trump mentioned that if Iran signs the agreement, it would mean they have committed to never possessing nuclear weapons, never developing them independently, and never purchasing them from external sources. He noted that the initial draft of the agreement only specified 'not developing independently' and did not include 'never purchasing from external sources.' This issue led to two weeks of negotiations, but ultimately the U.S. added that clause as well. The agreement will officially take effect as soon as Iran signs the document. Trump stated that, theoretically, 'they are very close to signing the agreement.' (CCTV News)
