Trump confident Iran is ready to sign deal on nuclear weapons

President Donald Trump said he is confident Iran is serious about signing a deal restricting its ability to build nuclear weapons.

Ali Shamkhani, a top political, military, and nuclear adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told NBC News on Wednesday that Tehran is ready at a moment’s notice to sign a nuclear deal in which Iran would only enrich uranium to lower levels needed for civilian use in exchange for the lifting of all economic sanctions. In Qatar on Thursday morning, Trump alluded to the comments, confirming that a deal is close.
