  • U.S. President Donald Trump claims Iran has agreed not to acquire nuclear weapons.
  • Trump stated in a podcast interview that Iran has already consented to forgo nuclear arms.
  • The U.S. and Israel have accused Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, while Iran maintains its program is peaceful.

U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that Iran has agreed to refrain from developing nuclear weapons, according to an interview on the "Pod Force One" podcast. Trump stated, "They have already agreed that they will not have a nuclear weapon."

Trump also indicated that Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is engaged in negotiations with the United States concerning the ongoing conflict in Iran. This development comes amidst long-standing accusations from the U.S. and Israel that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons, claims that Iran consistently denies, asserting its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.

The U.S. and Israel previously launched attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities in June of the previous year, citing these concerns. Prior to the current conflict, initiated by the U.S. and Israel in late February, Trump had warned that Iran was working to rebuild its nuclear program following the earlier attacks.

They have already agreed that they will not have a nuclear weapon.
