US President Donald Trump said Washington could soon remove high-level enriched uranium from Iran under a potential agreement with Tehran. The development signals possible progress in efforts to end months of conflict and reduce regional tensions. The outcome could affect global energy markets, regional security, and ongoing diplomatic negotiations.
In remarks to the Financial Times, Trump said the United States would coordinate with Iran to remove enriched uranium from sites damaged during the conflict. He claimed Tehran had agreed to the arrangement as part of broader discussions. Trump also suggested a breakthrough in negotiations could occur in the coming days, though no formal agreement has been announced.

Meanwhile, Trump criticized a US House resolution seeking to limit his authority to continue military operations against Iran. The measure passed with bipartisan support but remains largely symbolic unless approved by the Senate. The vote nonetheless reflected growing concern among some lawmakers over the handling of the conflict.
In Tehran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned against internal divisions and accused Iran’s adversaries of pursuing a campaign to weaken national unity. Iranian officials also reiterated that any future aggression would receive a strong response. At the same time, Iran maintained that its nuclear program remains peaceful and within its rights.
