President Donald Trump said Monday evening that he understands Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has given his approval for the emerging nuclear deal, according to a statement reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). Trump's remark — 'I understand that Khamenei has given his approval for the deal' — signals the highest level of Iranian authorization yet implied by the US president, though no direct confirmation from Tehran has been cited.
President Donald Trump late Monday evening stated that he understands Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has approved the emerging nuclear deal, according to a brief statement reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The remark — 'I understand that Khamenei has given his approval for the deal' — is the strongest indication yet from the US president that the highest level of Iranian leadership has signed off.
The comment comes amid a flurry of related statements. As The Zioneer reported at 22:43, Trump said he spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that a signing is 'imminent,' possibly in Europe this weekend. An Israeli assessment cited at 22:59 held that Trump is preparing to sign — with Donald Trump Jr. involved. Earlier Monday, Axios reported that Iran told regional states an 'in-principle' MOU had been reached but required Mojtaba Khamenei's approval. Trump's current remark appears to address that final approval step.
No direct confirmation from Iranian officials has been cited. Israeli officials have maintained public silence on the details, as The Zioneer noted at 21:09. The status of the agreement remains Developing pending on-record confirmation from Tehran or Washington.
