President Trump says <strong>Tehran and Washington will meet next week<\/strong> about a potential nuclear agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>We\u2019re going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We may sign an agreement<\/strong>, I don\u2019t know. To me, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that necessary. I mean, they had a war, they fought, now they\u2019re going back to their world. <strong>I don\u2019t care if I have an agreement or not<\/strong>,&#8221; Trump said during a news conference at the end of Wednesday&#8217;s NATO summit in The Netherlands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/trumpandaya1.jpg?itok=VF8xb1Zu\"><em>YNet News<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But it appears Trump is<strong> sticking by his &#8216;no enrichment&#8217; demand<\/strong>, at a moment the world doesn&#8217;t really know precisely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/israeli-official-confirms-rift-ceasefire-fails-trump-vowed-israel-wont-strike-after-he\">where Iran&#8217;s stockpiled of enriched uranium is located<\/a>. Only thing is&#8230; now there&#8217;s not supposed to be any enriched uranium stockpiles in the country to speak of, after US was bombs away on it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only thing would be asking for is what we were asking for before,&#8221; Trump emphasized &#8211; though importantly he added that <strong>such an agreement is probably not necessary given the claim that\u00a0the US successfully destroyed Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want no nuclear, but we destroyed the nuclear. <strong>In other words, it\u2019s destroyed<\/strong>. I said \u2018Iran will not have nuclear.\u2019 <strong>Well, we blew it up. It\u2019s blown up to kingdom come, and so I don\u2019t feel very strongly about it<\/strong>. <strong>If we got a document, it wouldn\u2019t be bad<\/strong>. We\u2019re going to meet with them,&#8221; the president said.<\/p>\n<p>In follow-up while addressing the NATO Q&amp;A, Secretary of State Rubio told reporters that such a deal would depend on Iran\u2019s willingness to negotiate directly with the US, as opposed to the intermediaries being used (such as Oman) in earlier rounds of talks.<\/p>\n<p>But all of this again begs the question&#8230; was Iran&#8217;s core nuclear program really destroyed? If everyone can &#8216;agree&#8217; &#8211; at least publicly for the sake of Trump&#8217;s narrative &#8211; this might mean Iran can simply continue enriching, but truly in secret this time.<\/p>\n<p>According to a source familiar with the classified DIA intelligence report following the US strikes on Saturday at approximately 6 pm &#8211; 7:05 pm EDT:<\/p>\n<p>The DIA report says it was based on \u201cone day\u2019s worth of intelligence reporting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a preliminary phase 3 BDA (Battle\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JenGriffinFNC\/status\/1937900728997003520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below on some casualty figures in Iran following what Trump dubbed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/middle-east\/over-600-people-killed-in-israeli-attacks-in-iran-health-ministry\/3611490\">&#8217;12-day war&#8217;<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>At least 627 people were killed<\/strong> in Iran during its conflict with Israel in the period between June 13 and June 25, Iranian state media outlet IRIB reported on Wednesday, citing the country\u2019s health ministry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>At least 4,870 other people were injured<\/strong> during that time, IRIB said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The health ministry said <strong>86% of the victims died at the scene<\/strong> of Israeli attacks, as cited by IRIB.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perhaps in five to ten years the Iranians will suddenly declare achievement of an atomic bomb?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Trump seems to be saying &#8216;move on&#8217; from the issue in the wake of last weekend&#8217;s B-2 bombings of three key Iranian nuclear sites:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fake news CNN&#8221; &#8212; Trump, at the NATO summit, trashes the CNN, New York Times, and MSNBC for reporting on an intelligence assessment that contradicted his claims about his Iran strikes <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A6BsMsPN3q\">pic.twitter.com\/A6BsMsPN3q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1937877082937143624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is reasonable to conclude that the<em><strong> Iranians have greater incentive than ever to do precisely this<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; <strong>weaponize what remains of their nuclear program<\/strong> &#8211; given they were attacked by Israel and the US (which called it &#8216;preemptive&#8217; and &#8216;necessary&#8217;), and their air-defenses have been largely taken out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Wed, 06\/25\/2025 &#8211; 13:20<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/us-meeting-iran-next-week-trump-says-while-suggesting-nuclear-deal-no-longer-necessary\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/us-meeting-iran-next-week-trump-says-while-suggesting-nuclear-deal-no-longer-necessary<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Meeting With Iran Next Week, Trump Says, While Suggesting Nuclear Deal Is No Longer Necessary Do the Iranians themselves know this?
