President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed 100 percent [1] not to obtain a nuclear weapon.
This assertion comes as the U.S. continues to manage volatile geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran remains a primary security concern for the U.S. and its regional allies, as it could trigger a nuclear arms race and destabilize global trade routes.
Trump said the United States is negotiating from a position of “pure strength” to ensure the agreement holds. He said the necessity of preventing Iran from acquiring such capabilities would avoid immediate regional conflict.
“The straits are already open, and we’re setting records in the straits,” Trump said. “We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”
Trump linked the possession of nuclear weapons to an immediate increase in aggression. He said that the risk of weaponization would lead to rapid escalation in the region.
“You want to see problems? You give them a nuclear weapon, and they’ll use it within the first hour,” Trump said.
Despite the volatility of the situation, Trump said that the commitment from the Iranian side is absolute. He said that the agreement to forego nuclear weapons is total [2].
“They will not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that 100 per cent,” Trump said.
“They will not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that 100 per cent.”
This statement signals a shift in the U.S. administration's public posture regarding Iranian nuclear ambitions, moving toward a claim of total compliance. If verified, such an agreement would represent a significant diplomatic victory; however, the lack of formal documentation or third-party verification at this stage leaves the actual status of the negotiations unclear.
