Donald Trump sees definitive pact with Iran as feasible within 60 days

U.S. President Donald Trump voiced optimism Tuesday about the possibility of finalizing a comprehensive international agreement with Iran within the stipulated 60-day timeframe. Technical negotiations are slated to prioritize the supervised dismantling of Iran's nuclear program and the gradual lifting of economic sanctions imposed on Tehran.

“

The deadline is about 60 days. I think it will be met more or less as planned. Both sides have been involved in the process. I think they want to reach an agreement. Iran wants to do it. It needs to return to normal activity.

"The deadline is about 60 days. I think it will be met more or less as planned. Both sides have been involved in the process. I think they want to reach an agreement. Iran wants to do it. It needs to return to normal activity," Trump stated at the outset of a high-level bilateral meeting with United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The leaders met on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Évian.

Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. That is what it says.

Trump reiterated his administration's core demand: "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." He described this safeguard as representing "about 99.9%" of his national security requirements, a non-negotiable condition for his government. He also highlighted that the terms of the initial memorandum of understanding would ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open "toll-free" beyond the 60-day negotiation window.

When it opens fully, it will be toll-free.

Regarding economic matters, Trump categorically denied reports suggesting direct financial commitments to Iran. He clarified that his administration has not agreed to disburse $300 billion to Iran as part of the bilateral pact. "We have no obligation," he asserted, specifying that the legal annexes of the truce only address certain aspects without committing to direct funding.
