Trump optimistic on Iran deal at G7, says Iran will 'never' acquire nuclear weapon

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism regarding a newly reached agreement with Iran, asserting that the deal explicitly prohibits the Islamic Republic from developing nuclear weapons. Speaking at the G7 summit in France, Trump told reporters that the text of the agreement would be formally released soon.

“

Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, that's what it says. It won't have one.

"Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, that's what it says. It won't have one," Trump stated, emphasizing a key outcome of the negotiations. He also confirmed that the critical Strait of Hormuz would operate on a toll-free basis during and after the reported 60-day negotiation period stipulated in the agreement. This assurance addresses concerns about maritime passage in the vital waterway.

The strait will be open toll-free, and it's toll-free beyond the 60 days.

Furthermore, Trump revealed that the United States intends to take possession of Iran's enriched uranium and subsequently destroy it. "We're in no rush, but we'll get it, and when we get it, we will destroy it," he said, detailing a concrete step in the disarmament process.
