Trump Says Iran Has Agreed Never To Have Nuclear Weapon, Denies Reports Of Payment Of $300million
Trump made the remarks in a statement posted on social media following reports of a preliminary understanding reached between the United States and Iran after more than three months of hostilities involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
United States President Donald Trump has declared that Iran has agreed never to possess a nuclear weapon, while also dismissing reports that Washington would pay Tehran hundreds of millions of dollars as part of a broader agreement aimed at ending months of conflict.
Trump made the remarks in a statement posted on social media following reports of a preliminary understanding reached between the United States and Iran after more than three months of hostilities involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
“Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!” Trump said.
The president’s comments came as details emerged about a memorandum of understanding reportedly concluded between Washington and Tehran ahead of a formal signing ceremony scheduled to take place on Friday in Switzerland.
According to earlier reports, senior U.S. officials confirmed that the agreement had been endorsed by President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
The development follows weeks of negotiations and comes 108 days after military confrontation erupted between Iran on one side and the United States and Israel on the other.
Officials familiar with the discussions said the proposed agreement contains measures intended to de-escalate tensions and restore economic and maritime activity in the region.
Among its key provisions is the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important oil shipping routes.
The pact is also expected to facilitate the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade imposed on Iran during the conflict, a move analysts believe could help stabilize energy markets and ease concerns over global oil supplies.
A formal ceremony to ratify the agreement is expected later this week in Switzerland, while technical negotiations on implementation are expected to begin shortly thereafter.
Officials familiar with the talks said both sides are expected to establish mechanisms for monitoring compliance with the terms of the agreement, including provisions related to regional security and nuclear activities.
A US official, speaking anonymously during a media briefing, said maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz would begin increasing almost immediately once implementation measures commence.
Trump’s assertion that Iran has agreed never to acquire a nuclear weapon is likely to become one of the most closely watched aspects of the emerging accord, particularly as international observers assess the details of the arrangement and the mechanisms that will be put in place to ensure compliance.
The agreement, if formally ratified, would mark a significant diplomatic breakthrough after months of conflict and heightened tensions across the Middle East.
