> Some U.S. officials doubt that a nuclear agreement with Iran is likely, The New York Times reports. They argue that President Donald Trump could choose a different course instead. Under that option, Trump might declare that Iran’s nuclear stockpiles should stay buried beneath rubble left by strikes on three nuclear facilities in June 2025. The reported position points to skepticism within U.S. circles about the prospects for a deal. It frames the issue around the fate of Iran’s nuclear materials after the strikes.
