U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized that Iran has agreed never to pursue nuclear weapons, marking his latest statement on the understandings reached between Washington and Tehran.
In a post on "Truth Social," Trump stated that Tehran has clearly committed not to seek nuclear arms, considering this vow a key outcome of the ongoing agreement that's set to be finalized in the coming weeks.
Trump's remarks come as preparations are underway for technical negotiations between the United States and Iran to establish implementation and monitoring mechanisms for the agreement.
Denial of Financial Reports
In a related context, Trump denied reports suggesting that the U.S. had offered financial sums to Iran as part of the recent understandings.
He dismissed claims that Washington would pay hundreds of millions of dollars to Tehran as "fake news," accusing his political opponents from the Democratic Party of spreading such narratives.
The denial follows media reports discussing potential financial packages or economic incentives that Iran might receive if it adheres to the agreement terms, reports that sparked widespread debate in both the United States and Israel.
Commitment to Obligations
Previously, U.S. officials clarified that any sanction relief or release of frozen Iranian funds would depend on Tehran's compliance with the agreed commitments and the outcomes of international verification and monitoring.
Meanwhile, Iran insists that fulfilling its commitments will be contingent upon lifting sanctions and releasing its frozen assets, as both parties anticipate the start of technical talks to determine the final agreement details and implementation methods.
The nuclear program remains a central issue in the ongoing negotiations, with repeated U.S. assurances that any final agreement must ensure Iran does not acquire capabilities to develop a nuclear weapon in the future.
