The day opened with reports that Iran had agreed to hand over its enriched uranium, fueling optimism that a deal was imminent. Trump stated the deal was 'largely negotiated' and that he had a good call with Netanyahu. However, by mid-morning, Iran denied the uranium handover, and Trump later posted that he ordered his negotiators 'not to rush,' that the Hormuz blockade would remain until signing, and that he does not make bad deals. Netanyahu broke his silence, tweeting that Iran will never have nuclear weapons and that Trump assured him any deal must dismantle Iran's nuclear program. The security cabinet was convened for the evening. Republican senators criticized the emerging deal as a 'nightmare for Israel.' Meanwhile, a shooting incident outside the White House led to a lockdown, and an IDF soldier was killed by a Hezbollah drone in the north.
