Summary

  • Trump said the U.S. would consider unfreezing Iranian assets and easing sanctions only after Iran meets conditions in a peace deal, ruling out any upfront relief.
  • On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he said Washington would help Iran eliminate its enriched uranium if an agreement is reached.
  • Trump paired that offer with a warning of harsh U.S. military action if negotiations fail, underscoring a pressure-and-incentives approach.
  • The remarks frame sanctions relief and access to frozen funds as leverage in any broader U.S.-Iran settlement over Tehran’s nuclear program.
