US President Donald Trump has strongly pushed back against media reports questioning the nuclear provisions of his proposed agreement with Iran, insisting that the deal clearly prevents Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump criticized media coverage of the proposed pact. "Fake News media said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn't talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon," Trump wrote.
Defending the draft framework, Trump said the agreement
addresses nuclear issues in significant detail and is focused largely on preventing nuclear proliferation.
He added that the deal "goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear" and claimed that most of the agreement is devoted to those issues.
Trump's remarks come days after he described the proposed deal with Iran as "largely finalised." However, reports indicate that he later returned the draft for substantial revisions, prolonging negotiations and creating fresh uncertainty around efforts to ease tensions.
