Trump says Iran has agreed to nearly everything the US wanted

WASHINGTON, United States — WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iran has come close to agreeing to nearly everything the United States has demanded, describing the standoff not as a war but as a nuclear disarmament process. Speaking to CNBC, Trump insisted that Iran must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon under any circumstances and said his administration has been working on Iran's disarmament for roughly four months. Trump claimed that Iran has wielded power across the Middle East and against the United States for the past 47 years because of the weakness of former presidents. He alleged that former President Barack Obama provided Iran with $1.7 billion in cash to develop weapons and missiles. The US president said Iran's current leaders are acting more rationally, adding that this amounted to a change of regime. No further details on the status of negotiations were immediately available.
