Iran judiciary targets assets of 75 accused of ‘aiding hostile media’

President Donald Trump said Iran agreed not only not to develop a nuclear weapon but also not to acquire one through other means, describing the distinction as an important change in the negotiations.

"I would rather get a deal, because we can open the Strait immediately upon signing. The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons. They've agreed to that, and it was very interesting. They said they originally said we will not develop a nuclear weapon," Trump said. "I said, well, what happens if you buy a nuclear weapon? So now it says we will not develop or in any way purchase a military weapon. That's a big difference. So we're getting what we want slowly, very tough negotiators, and it takes a long time, but I'm in no hurry."

President Donald Trump said the United States largely spared Iran’s military while targeting other elements of the country’s leadership and military infrastructure.

“Their navy is totally gone, 100%. Their air force is totally gone, 100%. Their military, we sort of left it alone, because we think that their military is somewhat, somewhat moderate,” Trump said.

"We've taken different forms of leadership out, we've actually left their military alone. People would be surprised to hear that, because mistakes have been made in wars where you wipe out everybody, and then you have a country that's, you know, for 40 years can never rebuild. You look at what happened with Iraq," he added.

US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox aired on Saturday that he is not in a hurry to finalize a deal, adding that rushing negotiations would prevent a good outcome.

“I’d like to say I’m in a hurry because gasoline prices are going to come tumbling down but if you are in a hurry you’re not going to make a good deal,” Trump said. "And if we do not get what we want, we are going to end it a different way."

President Donald Trump asked for amendments to a draft Iran agreement negotiated by US envoys during a Situation Room meeting on Friday, according to Axios and officials briefed on the talks.

The draft reportedly includes a 60-day negotiation window and provisions on Iran’s nuclear program, including its enriched uranium stockpile and limits on further enrichment.

Trump is seeking more specific language on how and when Iran’s nuclear material would be transferred or controlled, as well as revisions to wording on the Strait of Hormuz.

The discussions remain ongoing, with additional responses expected from Tehran in the coming days and no final agreement reached, the report added.

Gholam Reza Dehghan Naserabadi, a member of Iran’s parliament and the Energy Committee, said Tehran maintains its own set of oil buyers and continues to export crude through various channels despite sanctions pressure.

“Countries purchasing Iranian oil have, to some extent, been able to benefit from sanctions exemptions, while Iran continues to export its oil through different methods,” official media cited Dehghan as saying.
