Trump says Iran has agreed to no nuclear weapons

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that Iran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons, a critical assurance he demands for any potential peace agreement. The assertion came as reports surfaced that Trump had sent a revised peace proposal to Tehran with reportedly tougher terms, a move that could further prolong efforts to formally end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump shared his confidence in an interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, broadcast on Fox News. "The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons. They've agreed to that, and it was very interesting," he stated. However, Tehran has historically cast doubt on such claims, and significant gaps remain between the parties' core priorities.

Iran has insisted on the release of $12 billion in frozen assets before engaging in substantive talks regarding its nuclear program. Iranian media previously dismissed Trump's comments about destroying its enriched uranium as "baseless." Furthermore, Tehran maintains that Lebanon must be included in any resolution to the war, despite ongoing Israeli military actions targeting Iran-backed groups.

While earlier statements from Trump and U.S. officials suggested an imminent deal, the president adopted a less urgent tone in his recent interview, hinting at the possibility of renewed military action. "I'm in no hurry," Trump said. "Slowly but surely we're getting, I think, what we want and if we don't get what we want, we're going to end in a different way." This sentiment was echoed by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who affirmed Washington's capability to restart hostilities if necessary.
