Trump Says No Rush on Iran Nuclear Deal Negotiations

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are proceeding without urgency.

Trump emphasized that discussions should continue in an orderly manner, pushing back against critics advocating for a tougher stance. Reports suggest that a potential deal could involve Iran limiting its uranium enrichment, with further talks planned over a 60-day period.

The U.S. will maintain its sanctions until an agreement is reached. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Masoud Pezeshkian assured that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons, while U.S. officials, including Marco Rubio, noted progress in negotiations.

The discussions also include the possibility of Iran selling oil under a sanctions waiver and the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed due to previous conflicts. The negotiations aim to address Iran's nuclear capabilities and its military support for groups like Hezbollah.
