Trump says he wants Iran to give up nuclear weapons 'entirely'

US President Donald Trump has said he wants Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions completely, describing his goal as a “real end” to the nuclear issue, according to remarks shared by CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs on X. Iran denies that it's seeking nuclear weapons. 

Speaking aboard Air Force One during his late-night departure from the G7 summit in Canada, Trump predicted that Israel would continue its military campaign against Iran.

“You're going to find out over the next two days. You're going to find out. Nobody's slowed up so far,” he was quoted as saying.

Asked whether he might dispatch Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance to meet Iranian officials, Trump replied, “I may,” but added that it would depend on “what happens when I get back.”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told lawmakers in May that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon.

Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Gabbard said: “The intelligence community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorised the nuclear weapons programme he suspended in 2003.”
