US President Donald Trump said that Iran has abandoned its plans to acquire nuclear weapons, according to remarks carried by the Russian news agency TASS.
Trump also said that Iran "has been defeated," though the comments as reported did not elaborate on the specific events or evidence behind the assessment.
The remarks add to a string of public statements by the US president on Iran's nuclear programme and its broader standing in the region. Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear activities are intended for peaceful, civilian purposes.
TASS did not report further detail on the venue or date of Trump's remarks, nor any immediate response from Iranian officials.
The claim has not been independently verified, and it remains unclear what specific developments prompted Trump's assessment. Tehran had not issued a public reaction to the comments at the time of reporting.
