Trump says U.S. working on Iran deal, sanctions could be lifted by Sept. 7
Trump said Iran agreed not to possess or pursue nuclear weapons, with talks approved by Tehran’s supreme leader; he said sanctions relief could come by Sept. 7 if negotiations progress.
U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States is working on an agreement with Iran and that Tehran has agreed not to possess or pursue nuclear weapons. In a podcast interview, he said Iran’s supreme leader is negotiating with Washington and approving the talks, and that sanctions on Iran could be lifted before U.S. Labor Day on Monday, September 7, depending on how negotiations progress. The remarks point to a possible de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, though skepticism remains because past diplomatic efforts have failed and key issues remain unresolved.
