Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 02:21

TL;DR

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed to never possess nuclear weapons, adding that claims the U.S. paid Tehran $300 million are 'fake news,' according to an N12 report.

01 · THE DISPATCH

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran has agreed never to hold nuclear weapons, according to a report from N12. Trump also dismissed claims that the U.S. is paying Iran $300 million as "fake news." The statement comes amid a broader diplomatic push between Washington and Tehran, with earlier reports indicating negotiations over a comprehensive deal involving frozen assets, uranium export, and security arrangements. The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's assurances of a nuclear deal, as well as Iranian denials of receiving economic incentives. The current claim has not been independently verified by U.S. or Iranian officials, and it remains unclear whether this marks a formal agreement or a negotiating position.
