Trump touts near Iran deal as he warns against nuclear threat

In a rain-interrupted NBC Meet the Press interview, Donald Trump defends his Iran strategy, arguing the U.S. is close to a deal to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and insisting the naval blockade is effective, while signaling that Washington could act militarily if talks collapse. He criticizes the Obama-era JCPOA as a bad deal, outlines how a deal would involve dismantling or removing nuclear material, and hints at using U.S. forces if necessary. The interview also touches on domestic issues—economy, inflation, farmers, and a disputed weaponization fund—along with attacks on the media and questions about election integrity.
