Foreign Affairs: US President Donald Trump told CBS on Friday that Iran has agreed to stop funding Hamas and Hezbollah and will work with the United States to remove its enriched uranium.
According to The Jerusalem Post published on April 18, 2026, Trump said that Iran had “agreed to everything,” insisting that “our people” would also participate in Iran’s uranium extraction.
Trump noted that the uranium would be brought to the United States, emphasizing that no US ground troops would be involved in extracting the material.
“No troops,” Trump said. “…our people, along with the Iranian people, will work together to get it, and then we will get it to the United States.”
Trump added that a meeting between Iran and the United States was scheduled for this weekend, with the U.S. blockade of Iranian traffic in the Strait of Hormuz continuing until a deal is reached. Trump said in a post on Truth Social early Friday that the United States would maintain its blockade of Iranian ports until a deal is reached.
