U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that American relations with Iran are becoming "much more professional and productive," coinciding with reports of a developing 60-day ceasefire. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stressed that Iran must not develop or procure nuclear weapons.
Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.
Trump directed U.S. negotiators to take their time and avoid rushing into an agreement, stating, "The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed." He emphasized the need for both sides to "take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!"

Furthermore, Trump expressed gratitude to Middle Eastern countries for their mediation efforts and encouraged them to join the Abraham Accords for peace with Israel. He even extended an invitation, suggesting, "who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well!" This statement follows concerns raised by some U.S. lawmakers regarding potential deal terms that might leave Iran with influence over the Strait of Hormuz, access to funds, or nuclear capabilities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Trump's approach, calling any suggestion that the president would allow Iran to strengthen its nuclear ambitions "absurd."
Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!
