01 · THE DISPATCH

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the process of disarming Iran of nuclear weapons is 'progressing well' and that 'several good meetings' have taken place on the matter, as reported by N12. The brief on-the-record comment comes amid weeks of diplomatic activity surrounding a potential final agreement between Washington and Tehran.

As The Zioneer has extensively reported, Trump has made several statements in recent weeks advancing the diplomatic breakthrough, including announcing an 'excellent settlement' to end the war with Iran on June 11, and stating on June 17 that Iran 'behaves properly' and had agreed not to build nuclear weapons. The current comment appears to reinforce the administration's assessment of the negotiations' trajectory.

No additional details regarding the content of the meetings or a timeline for a final accord were provided. The progress update comes as international focus remains on what Trump has described as a 'almost final stage' of the deal, with a signing ceremony tentatively expected in Europe.
