TL;DR

President Donald Trump said Tuesday evening that the United States is in a good position regarding Iran, asserting that Iran has been 'destroyed' and that negotiations are underway for a deal. 'The most significant thing is that Iran will not have nuclear weapons,' Trump said, according to N12. The comment is the latest in a series of Trump statements on the emerging accord.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump offered another assessment of the emerging U.S.-Iran nuclear accord Tuesday evening, saying, 'We are in a good position. They are destroyed, and now we are making a deal with them.' The remark, reported by N12, is the latest in a steady stream of Trump pronouncements on the deal over the past two weeks. He added that the most significant element is that Iran will not have nuclear weapons.

As The Zioneer has reported extensively, Trump has characterized the agreement in increasingly definitive terms since early June — from an 'excellent settlement' to a 'wall against a nuclear weapon.' Over the past week, he stated the war with Iran is over, said Iran agreed never to pursue nuclear weapons, and expressed satisfaction that oil is flowing and markets are rising. The deal's final terms and implementation timeline remain under negotiation and have not been publicly disclosed.
