US President Donald Trump spoke with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, discussing the wars in Ukraine and Iran even as Washington pressed ahead with its naval blockade of Iranian ports. Trump told reporters as he met with astronauts from the Artemis II mission in the Oval Office that the conversation was "very good" and that the US was "going to come up with a solution relatively quickly" over its ongoing conflict with Iran. "He told me he'd like to be involved with the enrichment if he can help us get it. I said I'd much rather have you be involved with ending the war in Ukraine. To me, that would be more important," he said of the call, referring to the issue of Iran's enriched uranium, which has been a key obstacle to an Iran deal. Asked if another round of strikes on Tehran was necessary, Trump said "I don't know. We have talks". "They've come a long way. The question is whether or not they're going to go far enough. So at this moment, there will never be a deal unless they agree there will be no nuclear weapons."
