TL;DR

U.S. President Donald Trump said in a CNN interview Friday that Iran must never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, and stated he has been leading disarmament efforts for nearly four months. The remarks continue a series of Trump statements on the emerging Iran deal, which he has said includes a commitment by Tehran not to obtain nuclear arms.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump reiterated in a CNN interview late Thursday evening (Jerusalem time) that Iran must never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, and said he has been leading disarmament efforts for nearly four months. The statement aligns with a series of earlier announcements by Trump regarding a nuclear agreement with Iran. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump has previously stated that the war with Iran is concluded, that Iran agreed never to build nuclear weapons, and that the U.S. is disabling Iran's missile capability. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has said he spoke with Trump, who committed that the final deal will include removal of enriched material. The deal's terms and implementation timeline remain under negotiation.
