President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran has accepted U.S. terms regarding its nuclear program, including cooperation in removing enriched uranium from the country, as talks move toward a possible agreement.

In a phone interview with CBS News, Trump stated that Tehran has “agreed to everything” and will work alongside the United States to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile out of Iran.

He emphasized that the operation will not require American troops on the ground. Asked who would be responsible for retrieving the material, Trump responded only that it would be handled by “our people.”

“No. No troops,” he said. “We’ll go down and get it with them, and then we’ll take it. We’ll be getting it together because by that time, we’ll have an agreement and there’s no need for fighting when there’s an agreement. Nice right? That’s better. We would have done it the other way if we had to.”

Trump added that once the uranium is secured, it will be transported 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 said.

The president also indicated that Iran has committed to halting its support for proxy groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas.

When asked about a formal announcement, Trump said negotiations are set to continue this weekend, adding that the U.S. blockade will remain in place “until we get it done.”

He also pushed back on an earlier Axios report claiming that the administration was considering releasing $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds as part of the deal.

“No, we are not paying 10 cents,” he said firmly.

Speaking a day earlier, Trump said the conflict with Iran is nearing its conclusion.

“We’re doing very well, and I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly, we can do whatever we want, and it should be ending pretty soon,” the President stated at an event in Las Vegas.

“It was perfect. It’s perfect. It was the power we have,” the President added. “We had the most powerful military anywhere in the world.”

He added that while military action was not his preference, it was necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

“We had to because we can’t let them have a nuclear weapon. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.”
