Trump holds meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran deal

There was no provision to destroy nuclear materials in the memorandum of understanding, the agency reported.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told state TV it was “focused on ending the war, and there are no negotiations on the nuclear issue”.

The US has long demanded that Iran stop producing highly enriched uranium and dispose of its existing stockpile, which in theory could be used to create nuclear weapons.

Iran says its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and denies it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

The possibility of the US being able to “recommence” strikes in Iran was floated by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
