U.S. President Donald Trump has affirmed that the agreement being negotiated with Iran is entirely ready, noting that the only step remaining is for Tehran to sign the final document to complete the understanding between both parties.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump stated that all details of the agreement have been drafted and negotiated, emphasizing that the United States is "very close" to reaching a final deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program.
The American president accused the Iranian side of prolonging the negotiations, saying Tehran continues to stall despite the progress made. He added that he believes Iran wants to reach an agreement, but the coming days will determine whether they are ready to move forward toward signing.
Trump stressed that the proposed agreement includes guarantees to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the future, considering this objective to be the core of U.S. policy in the Iranian nuclear file.
He also criticized the 2015 nuclear deal made during the administration of former President Barack Obama, arguing that it did not provide sufficient guarantees to prevent the development of military nuclear capabilities, while the new deal, according to him, aims to shut down this path conclusively and permanently.
The U.S. president affirmed that Washington is not seeking to sign a nominal agreement but rather a sustainable and enforceable understanding that promotes stability and prevents any nuclear arms race in the region.
Trump concluded his remarks by expressing hope that the anticipated agreement will enhance the prospects for peace and stability, affirming his aspiration for a more secure Middle East and a world with greater stability and cooperation.
