President Donald Trump said that the conflict with Iran would 'end soon' and vowed that Iran would not be allowed to retain its enriched uranium. Speaking at the White House, he stated that the United States would seize the material and likely destroy it, emphasizing that Iran would not be permitted to develop a nuclear weapon.

Trump described ongoing negotiations with Iran but warned that if satisfactory answers were not received within days, military action could proceed quickly. He said he had postponed a planned strike to allow space for serious talks, adding that waiting briefly could prevent further loss of life.

The president also claimed that the United States has full control over the Strait of Hormuz and has significantly weakened Iran’s naval, air, and missile capabilities. Despite the tensions, Trump noted that American officials were impressed with the current Iranian negotiators and expressed hope that a deal could be reached swiftly and peacefully.
