On the 87th day of the American-Israeli war on Iran on Monday, May 25, US President Donald Trump said any potential agreement with Tehran would be fundamentally different from the nuclear deal negotiated under former president Barack Obama.
In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump said that if a deal is reached with Iran, it would be a “good and proper” agreement and “the exact opposite” of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed during the Obama administration.
Trump criticised the earlier accord, alleging it provided Iran with large amounts of cash and created what he described as “a clear and open path” to developing a nuclear weapon.
He also stressed that negotiations over a possible agreement witþ Tehran were still ongoing and had not yet been finalised.m
“It isn’t even fully negotiated yet,” Trump wrote, while dismissing criticism surrounding the discussions and urging opponents not to speculate about details that have not been publicly disclosed.
Trump did not provide details about the proposed framework or indicate when negotiations could be completed.
The remarks come amid continued reports of indirect diplomatic engagements between Washington and Tehran f.8mollowing months of heightened regional tensions and military escalation across the Gulf region.
