President Trump announced that Iran has largely conceded to U.S. nuclear demands following recent military action, signaling a potential breakthrough ahead of upcoming peace talks in Islamabad.
President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that Iran has “totally agreed” to abandon its nuclear ambitions following the initiation of “Operation Epic Fury,” despite the fact that formal peace negotiations in Pakistan have yet to produce a signed agreement. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, the President asserted that the Iranian government is now willing to make concessions that were previously off the table, stating, “We had to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. They’ve totally agreed to that. They’ve agreed to almost everything.”
Trump suggested that he had received a “very powerful statement” indicating Iran would forgo nuclear weapons for a period exceeding 20 years and noted that another round of in-person talks is likely to take place this weekend. While the President remained non-committal on extending the current temporary ceasefire, he expressed optimism about the diplomatic momentum, remarking, “Just so you know, Iran wants to make a deal. And we’re dealing very nicely with them.” Trump concluded by indicating he would be open to traveling to the Pakistani capital for a formal signing ceremony, stating, “If a deal is signed in Islamabad, I may go. They want me.”
