Trump Insists Iran Must Ditch Nuclear Weapon Goals Before Talks
Former President Donald Trump reaffirmed the United States' commitment to resolving the Iran nuclear issue through diplomacy but emphasized a non-negotiable condition: Iran must completely drop its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Diplomatic Engagement on U.S. Terms
Addressing the upcoming round of negotiations, Trump stated that his entire administration was directed to engage with Iran, underscoring that the country has the potential to become a great nation — but only if it first renounces any ambitions to develop nuclear arms.
"We remain committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue!" Trump declared on his social media platform. He added, "My entire Administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a Great Country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a Nuclear Weapon."
Clarifying the U.S. Stance
His comments underscore the long-standing U.S. position that while dialogue and diplomacy are vital, they hinge on unequivocal Iranian compliance regarding nuclear non-proliferation. This insistence aims to ensure that negotiations proceed on firm terms that preclude any chance of nuclear weapon development.
What Comes Next?
As the talks approach, the international community watches closely to see whether Iran will accept these conditions and what diplomatic pathways might emerge. The outcome of these discussions could have substantial implications for regional security and global nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
