US President Donald Trump says, “Time will tell, but I don’t believe that they’re going to go back into nuclear anytime soon.”
Speaking at a White House press conference, Trump reiterates his assertion that Iran hasn’t moved any material from the site since it was struck by the US. He has also claimed that Iran wasn’t able to move any material beforehand, though, European intelligence agencies have disputed that assessment.
Trump also reiterates that Iran is interested in meeting — something Tehran has denied.
He notes that he would want the International Atomic Energy Agency or another trusted entity to have full rights to conduct inspections in Iran.
