Trump claims Iran nuclear breakthrough

In a series of interviews and social media posts, President Trump claimed that Iranian negotiators have bowed to U.S. pressure and agreed to hand back 'nuclear dust'—highly enriched uranium buried under rubble from recent airstrikes.

The administration is reportedly considering a three-page plan that could involve unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets, though Trump publicly insisted that 'no money is changing hands.' While Trump expressed optimism that a final deal to end the war could be signed this weekend, senior Iranian officials noted that significant differences remain, particularly regarding nuclear issues and the terms of the ceasefire.

The potential breakthrough follows Pakistan-mediated talks and a diplomatic push involving several world leaders.
