President Trump said the U.S. demands of Iran are the same as before the war began. "We want to see no nuclear bomb, no nuclear weapon, not even close to it," he told reporters on Monday morning. He said the U.S. wants Iran's enriched uranium, or what he called "nuclear dust."
"And I think we're going to get that," Trump said. "We want no enrichment, but we also want the enriched uranium. If this happens, it's a great start for Iran to build itself back, and it's everything that we want. And it's also great for Israel, and it's great for the other Middle Eastern countries."
Trump said he couldn't guarantee a deal but expressed optimism the war could be settled. "Otherwise, we just keep bombing our little hearts out," he said.
