Trump Says U.S. Can Get Iran's Enriched Uranium Without a Deal, Leaves Door Open to 1 Meeting

Summary
Trump said Washington does not need an agreement with Iran to obtain the country's enriched uranium, telling reporters in the Oval Office the U.S. could get it “right now.”
He argued there was “no reason” to do so because the material is “entombed,” signaling he sees little immediate need for a deal on that point.
Trump also said he does not want to meet Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, though he added a meeting could still happen if Washington and Tehran reach an agreement.
The remarks sketch a harder public line on Iran's nuclear issue while preserving a narrow diplomatic opening tied to any future deal.
