President Donald Trump says Iran has already agreed not to pursue a nuclear weapon, signaling what he described as progress in ongoing discussions between Washington and Tehran.

Speaking in an interview released Wednesday, Trump also suggested a future meeting with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, could be possible if negotiations continue moving in the right direction.

Trump Claims Iran Has Made Nuclear Commitment

During the interview, Trump expressed confidence that Iran had accepted a key U.S. demand regarding its nuclear program.

“They’ve already agreed they’re not going to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told “Pod Force One” in an interview broadcast on Wednesday, while speaking about Iran.

The remark comes as diplomatic efforts continue amid heightened tensions following months of conflict that have reshaped relations across the Middle East.

Possible Meeting With Iran’s Supreme Leader

Trump indicated that Khamenei remains directly involved in discussions aimed at ending hostilities between the United States and Iran.

Asked about Khamenei’s involvement in talks with the U.S. on ending hostilities, Trump said, “He’s involved, ⁠absolutely. … I think they have a lot of respect for him.”

The president also revealed he has been receiving reports about the Iranian leader’s condition while emphasizing that Khamenei continues to play a role in the negotiations.

Trump said he was hearing Iran’s leader was not doing too well but was giving his approval during the negotiations. Trump added that he had not had “the privilege of meeting” Khamenei.

Still, Trump left the door open for a face-to-face meeting in the future.

“I’d like to meet him. We probably will meet at some point, depending on how it all works out,” Trump said.

Trump Calls Iran Conflict A Success

The president also defended the outcome of the conflict that began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28. According to Trump, Iran’s military capabilities were significantly weakened during the fighting.

The war has had far-reaching consequences, affecting global energy markets and becoming a contentious issue among American voters ahead of November’s congressional elections.

Despite those concerns, Trump characterized the situation as a positive development for U.S. interests.

“Iran’s a big success,” Trump said in the interview. “We’ll see what happens. We’re going to, we’re working on a deal, and ⁠that happens fine. If it doesn’t happen, that’s OK too. We’ll do it the other way.”

Uncertainty Remains Over Next Steps

While Trump suggested negotiations are continuing, he did not explain what alternative actions the United States could take if talks fail.

However, he has previously indicated that military strikes could resume if diplomatic efforts break down.

For now, the administration appears focused on pursuing a negotiated agreement while maintaining pressure on Tehran. Whether the reported commitment on nuclear weapons leads to a broader deal remains one of the key questions facing both governments in the months ahead.
