Trump Says Iran 'Wants to Make a Deal Very Badly' on Nuclear Program
President Trump said Monday that Iran wants to make a nuclear deal "very badly" and has reached out after negotiations in Islamabad collapsed. Trump said he won't agree to any deal that lets Iran keep nuclear weapons.
President Donald Trump announced Monday that Iran is eager to negotiate a new nuclear agreement, claiming Tehran has contacted his administration after recent talks in Islamabad fell through.
Trump said Iran "wants to make a deal very badly" but made clear he would reject any agreement allowing the country to develop nuclear weapons. The president suggested the ongoing conflict with Iran is "very close to over."
The claims come after previous nuclear negotiations broke down in Islamabad, though details about those talks remain unclear. Trump has taken a hard line on Iran throughout his presidency, withdrawing from earlier nuclear agreements.
Trump also warned he could "devastate" Iran if needed, saying it would take the country 20 years to rebuild. His comments signal a potential shift toward diplomacy while maintaining pressure on Tehran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
A new nuclear deal with Iran could ease tensions in the Middle East and affect gas prices. It could also shape America's foreign policy and military involvement in the region for years to come.
Watch for Iran's response to Trump's claims and any signs of formal negotiations beginning.
