The president made the assertion in an exchange with reporters before departing for an event in Las Vegas on Thursday.
If true, it would be a major concession from Iran, and would lock in a key demand of the U.S. to end the conflict.
“They’ve agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that’s way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers,” said Trump, using a term he’s adopted as shorthand for the roughly 970 pounds of enriched uranium buried under Iranian nuclear sites damaged by U.S. strikes on the country last year.
