DID News: Donald Trump, President of the United States, said in his latest remarks during an interview with CBS News that Iran’s uranium stockpiles are no longer a priority for Washington. He noted that these reserves are located deep underground, describing access to them as “very difficult.”
Trump also told the New York Post that the war with Iran “will end soon.” He added that other countries can take responsibility for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, stressing that securing the passage is not necessarily the responsibility of the United States.
Meanwhile, the news outlet Axios reported, citing Trump, that the diplomatic track with Iran is “progressing well.” At the same time, the foreign minister of Pakistan stated that an initiative to end the war took shape and gained momentum during his recent visit to China.
Trump further said that the United States plans to withdraw from Iran within the next two to three weeks. He claimed that reducing the U.S. military presence could help stabilize global energy prices.
According to Trump, Iran’s return to negotiations is “positive,” but from Washington’s perspective, it is not considered “essential.” He also emphasized that ending U.S. military operations does not necessarily depend on reaching a formal agreement with Iran, and that hostilities could cease without imposing conditions.
Taken together, these statements suggest a notable shift in Washington’s posture—delegating responsibility for the Strait of Hormuz to other nations, acknowledging mediation roles by China and Pakistan, and signaling a reduced emphasis on previously stated red lines.
