Trump says Iran agreed to return uranium, hints war may end soon

President Donald Trump said at a Las Vegas event that Iran has finally agreed to return its enriched uranium and to refrain from possessing nuclear weapons for more than 20 years, calling the development a sign that the conflict in Iran should end 'relatively soon.' He added that the situation is proceeding 'smoothly' and that a US‑Iran meeting could take place over the weekend, which he said adds optimism to the prospects of a deal.

For Nigerians, the outcome could influence global oil markets and regional stability. As an oil‑exporting nation, Nigeria’s fuel prices and government revenue often shift with Middle East developments; heightened tensions can raise crude prices, while a de‑escalation may ease them. The statements, however, were made at a campaign rally and have not been independently verified by other sources.

You should treat the claims as preliminary and monitor trusted news outlets for confirmation. Consider how any change in oil prices might affect your transport costs, household budget, or business plans, and stay alert to official updates from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation or reputable international agencies.
