Event Summary

Donald Trump, President of the United States, claimed in a Paramount Global===CBS News interview that Iran has agreed to remove its enriched uranium and cease support for proxy terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. He stated that the material would be brought to the United States, with cooperation from Iranians, and that no U.S. ground troops would be involved. However, Iran's foreign ministry quickly denied these claims, asserting that enriched uranium is sacred and will not be transferred. Donald Trump also denied an Axios report about releasing $20 billion in frozen Iranian assets, stating the U.S. would not pay '10 cents' and would continue its blockade until a deal is done.
