Iran Deal: Trump Says It Stops Tehran From Getting a Nuclear Bomb

Trump told reporters that the new agreement with Iran makes it clear the country can never build a nuclear weapon. He warned that if Iran tries to do so, “all hell will rain down. ” The deal, a 14‑point plan still hidden from the public, was discussed while he met Qatar’s Emir at a G7 meeting in France. Before the talks, Trump suggested Syria might be better suited than Israel to handle Iran‑backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. He criticized Israel’s approach and said Syria could “do a better job. ” Iranian officials are set to travel to Switzerland next week for 60 days of detailed talks. They will cover Iran’s enriched uranium and lifting sanctions, topics that have caused concern among European allies who fear a weak U. S. negotiating team could stall the process.The 2015 agreement reached under President Obama involved sanctions relief after two years of negotiation. Trump withdrew the U. S. from that deal during his first term and now claims his new arrangement is a “wall” against nuclear weapons, contrasting it with Obama’s “road” to such arms. Analysts note that Iranian negotiators are skilled at exploiting weaknesses and buying time, making a comprehensive 60‑day agreement difficult. The outcome may also hinge on Lebanon’s situation, where Israeli forces remain to counter Hezbollah and Tehran wants an Israeli withdrawal. Trump’s comments reflect a shift in U. S. policy, emphasizing a hard line on Iran while suggesting regional allies could play different roles to maintain stability.
