Washington, DC – In an interview with NBC, US President Donald Trump said he wants Iran to make a clear commitment not to develop or acquire nuclear weapons. He emphasized that any future agreement must include provisions guaranteeing adherence to this commitment. Trump added that Iran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons, but stressed the importance of clear texts and guarantees. He asserted that these would ensure the long-term implementation of this commitment, explaining that they would prevent any attempt to return to the path of nuclear armament.
Demands for binding guarantees
The US president explained that the US administration seeks an agreement that includes clear monitoring mechanisms and guarantees to prevent Iran from developing or acquiring nuclear weapons in the future. He also indicated that mere political pledges are insufficient. He stressed that what is required is a documented and verifiable commitment. He affirmed that this would ensure that the Iranian nuclear program is not diverted toward military purposes.
Abandoning nuclear ambitions
Trump asserted that he wants Iran to abandon what he called its nuclear ambitions. He maintained that regional stability requires addressing concerns about Tehran’s potential acquisition of nuclear weapons capabilities. He added that the international community needs practical guarantees, which he believes would allow for verification of Iran’s full compliance with any agreement reached.
Delivery of enriched uranium
The US president stressed that he sees no option for Iran other than reaching an agreement and surrendering its stockpile of enriched uranium. He considered this step an essential part of any potential settlement of the nuclear issue. Trump’s statements come at a time when diplomatic efforts and international talks regarding the Iranian nuclear program are ongoing. Efforts are also continuing to reach understandings that guarantee oversight of nuclear activities. He affirmed that these understandings would alleviate regional and international tensions related to this issue.
