President Donald Trump said on Friday that Iran has “agreed to everything” and will work with the United States to remove its enriched uranium.

The president told CBS News in a phone interview that the removal operation will not involve U.S. troops on the ground.

“No. No troops,” he said. “We’ll go down and get it with them, and then we’ll take it. We’ll be getting it together because by that time, we’ll have an agreement and there’s no need for fighting when there’s an agreement. Nice right? That’s better. We would have done it the other way if we had to.”

The other way would have involved troops going in and seizing the material.

“Our people, together with the Iranians, are going to work together to go get it. And then we’ll take it to the United States,” he said of the enriched uranium.

Axios had previously reported that several proposals were in discussion, with one being the possibility of the uranium being moved to a third-party country.

Iran had sought an agreement allowing them to “down-blend” their enriched uranium.

“A top priority for the Trump administration is ensuring Iran can’t access the stockpile of nearly 2,000kg of enriched uranium buried in its underground nuclear facilities, in particular the 450kg enriched to 60% purity,” Axios explained.

FOX NEWS ALERT: Peter Doocy reports President Trump just told CBS News the Iranian regime has AGREED to allow U.S. personnel to enter Iran to collect and extract leftover uranium.

Most commercial nuclear power plants use 3 to 5 percent enriched uranium, and 90 percent is often the threshold associated with nuclear weapons, according to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.

Before the outbreak of the war, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that in March, Iranian negotiators boasted to him that they had enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear weapons.

The Iranian negotiators apparently said “they had the inalienable right to enrich all their nuclear fuel that they possessed,” Witkoff said.

“We, of course, responded that the president feels we have the inalienable right to stop you dead in your tracks,” he added.

“In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us, directly, with no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60 percent, and they’re aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance,” Witkoff recounted.

He explained that 60 percent enriched uranium can be brought to weapons grade in roughly one week in a nuclear facility.

Witkoff noted, “They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.”

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz initiated on Monday was costing Iran up to $435 million a day, including $276 million in lost exports.

The blockade, coupled with weeks of air strikes from the U.S. and Israel, which devastated Iran’s steel and petrochemical facilities, has the country’s economy on the brink of collapse.

A judge ordered Alec Baldwin to face a civil trial over negligence after he fatally shot a producer on the set of ‘Rust.’

Baldwin shot and killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured 48-year-old Joel Souza on the movie set of ‘Rust’ in Santa Fe, New Mexico in October 2021.

Serge Svetnoy, a lighting technician who was almost hit with a bullet while on the set of Rust filed a lawsuit and claimed he suffered emotional distress.

A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge on Friday allowed the lawsuit to move forward.

Alec Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

NBC News reported:

A judge ruled on Friday that a civil case against actor Alec Baldwin over alleged negligence on the “Rust” set in 2021 can proceed to trial this fall.

Serge Svetnoy, a gaffer on “Rust,” first filed a lawsuit in November 2021, alleging that he narrowly missed being hit while on set that day. He claimed that cost-cutting and corner-cutting measures on the Western meant that Baldwin, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and other producers “were consciously aware of the wrongfulness and harmfulness of their conduct.”

He alleges that he suffered from emotional distress due to negligence on the part of Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maurice Leiter allowed Svetnoy’s claims for punitive damages, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress to move forward.

In a case filed by Santa Fe prosecutors, Alec Baldwin was previously charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

In July 2024 Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice which means prosecutors cannot refile the case.

Alec Baldwin’s defense team accused state prosecutors of concealing evidence. In a stunning move, the judge dismissed the charges in the middle of the trial!

The radicalization of hysterical-sounding young leftist women alone justifies the dismantling of the American education system.

Conversely, the rightward shift among Gen Z men offers hope for the future.

In a short video posted across social media, a backpack-wearing young man, surrounded by other backpack-wearing young men, calmly explained to two young female abortion supporters why their bodily autonomy argument cannot hold water.

“I’m against you guys telling women what to do with their bodies,” one young woman said.

“We can’t have a moral opinion?” one of the men asked.

“Not on my body,” the woman replied.

Then, a very calm and rational young man interjected.

“Wait, I just have a question for you,” he said. “So, the Holocaust. Was the Holocaust wrong?”

At that point, a second young woman grew animated and acted as if the young man had asked something unreasonable.

“The Holocaust was f***ing wrong, yeah, okay,” she replied.

“Yeah, exactly,” the young man said. “You’re condemning Nazis for killing Jews when you’re not a Nazi or a Jew. It’s something that doesn’t involve you. How can you have a moral opinion on something that doesn’t involve you and then tell me — ?”

The first young woman, now louder and more agitated, interrupted and threw the young man’s question back at him.

“How can you have a moral opinion on something that doesn’t involve you?” she shot back. “You are a man. So just f***ing keep your d*** in your pants until you’re married.”

The young man, to his credit, ignored the vulgar outburst.

“You just proved my point,” he replied.

“What is your point?” the first woman asked, hand on her hip in a dismissive posture.

“I’m saying that you can have a moral opinion on things that don’t directly involve you. You’re saying that the Holocaust is wrong; it’s because murder is wrong. Me saying that abortion is wrong is also saying that murder is wrong.”

The exchange was part of a street outreach from Abolitionists Rising. One of the men with the Christian anti-abortion group wore a shirt that read, “Stop Ignoring Child Sacrifice.”

In sum, one could scarcely imagine a clip that more thoroughly encapsulates the modern abortion debate.

On one side, we see hysterical and brainwashed young women ranting about bodily autonomy. On the other side, we see a young man calmly explaining why he has a right to insist that they not murder their babies.

Moreover, in tone and substance, the young man sounded like slain conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk. The apparent college setting accentuated the comparison.

If this clip is any indication, then Kirk left America’s young men in a very good place.
