US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that negotiations between the United States and Iran are progressing well, with a potential deal expected to be reached by the weekend. Trump noted that while a finalized agreement might not occur, the prospects are promising. He described Iran as a 'volatile' nation and asserted that the US military could decisively defeat Iran if necessary, although he prefers a diplomatic solution that avoids loss of life. A central component of the ongoing discussions is the acquisition of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which Trump stated the US intends to secure in the near future. Furthermore, he revealed that the US has engaged in discussions with the Hezbollah terror group for the first time, resulting in a mutual agreement to refrain from hostilities. Trump emphasized the importance of addressing the complexities of the negotiations, particularly the need to disentangle issues related to the Strait of Hormuz from the ongoing tensions in Lebanon.
