Summary
At the G7 in France, Donald Trump said Iran's missiles "aren't the problem" and suggested Tehran could keep some capabilities if regional rivals such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar also have them.
The remarks came as Washington and Tehran released a memorandum of understanding that gives them 60 days to decide the fate of Iran's nearly 900-pound stockpile of 60% enriched uranium and any future enrichment.
That stance clashes with months of administration messaging: Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Karoline Leavitt had cast destroying Iran's missile force as a central objective of Operation Epic Fury.
Trump also sounded more flexible on civilian nuclear activity, while officials had previously said Iran could retain not even 1% enrichment capability, underscoring unresolved terms in any final deal.
