Trump says U.S., Iran closer to reaching nuclear deal, Bloomberg reports

President Donald Trump said the U.S. may be getting closer to an agreement with Iran to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, Bloomberg’s Patrick Sykes reports. Trump referred to an NBC interview with Ali Shamkhani, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, in which Shamkhani reiterated Tehran’s position that it’s willing to limit uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief. The U.S. and Iran have held four rounds of talks about the Islamic Republic’s atomic activities, mediated by Oman, with Trump seeking a deal that would prevent Iran from potentially building a nuclear weapon, and Tehran seeking a reprieve from U.S. sanctions.
