Iran’s Nuclear Program: Donald Trump Claims Tehran’s Commitment to Atomic Weapon Prohibition
Trump Claims Iran Will Not Pursue Nuclear Weapons
In a recent interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, broadcast on Fox News, American President Donald Trump asserted that Iran has agreed to refrain from developing nuclear weapons, either through production or acquisition.
According to Trump, the primary demand from the United States in ongoing negotiations with Tehran is the assurance that no nuclear weapons will be developed. He contends that Iranian authorities have expanded their initial position by also committing to abstain from purchasing nuclear armaments, in addition to not producing them.
The American president further indicated that discussions are progressing without urgency, suggesting that the United States is gradually moving toward its diplomatic objectives. However, he cautioned that the lack of a satisfactory agreement could lead to a different evolution of the situation.
Additionally, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the United States remains "more than capable" of considering military action if negotiations with Iran fail, highlighting the ongoing high tensions between the two nations.
These discussions take place against a backdrop of deep disagreement between Washington and Tehran, particularly regarding Iran’s nuclear program and strategic issues related to maritime routes, especially the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered a critical point for global energy trade.
The United States maintains its opposition to any Iranian control over this strategic maritime passage, while negotiations continue in a climate of tense and uncertain diplomacy.
