No nuclear weapons for Iran under proposed deal, Trump announces

US President Donald Trump has said that a proposed agreement with Iran explicitly prevents Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, rejecting claims that the framework does not adequately address nuclear issues.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump said the proposed deal “states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon” and argued that the agreement contains extensive provisions related to Iran’s nuclear programme.

His remarks appeared to be directed at a CNN report suggesting that the proposed framework did not adequately address nuclear issues, a characterisation he strongly rejected.

“It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about,” he wrote.

He also criticised some media outlets, accusing them of misrepresenting the contents of the proposed agreement.

Trump has repeatedly said that any future understanding with Tehran must include guarantees preventing Iran from developing or acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Pace of Iran’s response

Trump has sent Iran a revised version of a proposed peace framework containing tougher terms as efforts continue to secure an agreement that would end the war, according to a report by The New York Times.

The newspaper said on Saturday that Trump amended elements of the draft agreement and returned it to Tehran for consideration, citing three officials familiar with the matter. The report did not specify the exact changes made to the text.

Officials said Trump has expressed concerns about provisions that could involve the unfreezing of Iranian assets, an issue he previously criticised in relation to the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated under former President Barack Obama.

The report also said Trump has grown frustrated with the pace of Iran’s response to US proposals, which have been negotiated through intermediaries, including officials from Pakistan.
