President Donald Trump said in a phone interview Friday that Iran has “agreed to everything” in ongoing talks with the United States, including allowing the removal of its enriched uranium, according to CBS News.Trump insisted the effort would not involve U.S. ground troops, but offered few specifics about how the materials would be secured.“No, no troops,” he told the outlet, adding that “our people” would work alongside Iranians to retrieve it.“We'll go down and get it with them, and then we'll take it,” Trump said, suggesting that the uranium would ultimately make its way to the United States.
Our people, together with the Iranians, are going to work together to go get it. And then we'll take it to the United States, he added.Trump also claimed Iran has agreed to stop backing proxy groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas as part of a broader deal. He said talks between the two sides are set to continue this weekend and that a U.S. blockade would remain in place “until we get it done.”While Axios reported the administration had discussed releasing up to 20 billion in frozen Iranian assets, Trump dismissed the idea in his phone interview with CBS News Friday.“No, we are not paying 10 cents,” he insisted.
