Trump Claims Iran Accepted 'Just About Everything' in Nuclear Talks

Published on: 03 Jul 2026, 02:00 AM

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that negotiations with Iran are progressing, stating that Tehran has agreed to nearly all of Washington's key demands. In an interview with CNBC, Trump asserted, 'I think they've agreed to just about everything we need.'

The remarks come amid ongoing talks between the two nations, which have been marked by tension since the US withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions. Iran has consistently denied accepting US demands, and no independent confirmation of Trump's claim has been provided.

Experts caution that such statements from the president often reflect negotiating tactics rather than concrete agreements. The Iranian government has not officially responded as of the time of reporting.

The White House has not released further details about the specific demands referenced by Trump. The development, if confirmed, would mark a significant shift in the long-standing standoff over Iran's nuclear programme.
