Trump says negotiations to end war happening ‘right now’ and Iran is ‘talking sense’.Donald Trump claims Iran has agreed to “never” have a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, the US is reportedly sending thousands of extra troops to the Middle East, after Iran vowed to keep fighting until “complete victory”.

Donald Trump has just told reporters in the Oval Office that Iran has “agreed they’ll never have a nuclear weapon.”

Iran is talking to Washington and “they’re talking sense”, the US president said.

Asked if he’d send his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss peace with the Iranians, Trump said: “We’re in negotiations right now. They’re doing it along with Marco, JD.

“The other side, I can tell you, they’d like to make a deal.

“Who wouldn’t if you were them? Their navy’s gone, their air force is gone, their communications… all of their anti-aircraft, their missiles.

“Can you name a single thing that’s not gone? Or one thing that’s doing well?”

Trump added: “We are roaming free over Tehran. We can do whatever we want.”
