WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump on Friday declared that Iran must fully commit to abandoning any ambition of developing nuclear weapons, as he headed into a White House Situation Room meeting to make a “final determination” on a potential agreement with Tehran.
In a statement posted on social media, Trump insisted that “Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” framing the demand as a core condition for any deal under consideration.
He also indicated that he was convening senior advisers in the Situation Room for an immediate decision on the matter, saying he would make a final assessment during the high-level meeting.
The remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic discussions aimed at extending a fragile ceasefire and addressing long-standing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. Trump’s position emphasizes strict limits on Iran’s nuclear activities and broader security guarantees as part of any possible agreement.
The Situation Room meeting was expected to weigh competing proposals before a final decision on whether to proceed with a deal.
Donald J. Trump has not yet announced the outcome of the deliberations, while Iran has repeatedly disputed aspects of the proposed terms, according to ongoing diplomatic reports.
