Trump Says Iran Will Never Get Nuclear Weapon as Deal Enters New Stage
🤖 AI Generated ImageThe Trump Iran deal entered a new phase Tuesday after President Donald Trump said at the G7 summit that Iran “will never have a nuclear weapon” and that the agreement is moving to a second stage.
The immediate catalyst was Trump’s June 16 remarks in France, where he told reporters the deal was completed but still needed follow-up negotiations, according to Reuters.
Trump also said the United States would not financially invest in Iran as part of the process.
That distinction matters because the economic terms of the agreement remain one of the most sensitive unresolved issues.
Trump Iran Deal Moves From Framework to Second Stage
Trump framed the next phase as potentially easier than the first, but the public details remain limited.
In separate remarks reported by Reuters, Trump said the memorandum states clearly that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
He also said he may release the full text in a formal setting and is open to submitting the agreement to Congress for review.
That would turn the deal from a diplomatic announcement into a procedural test in Washington.

The nuclear language is the political core of the agreement.
Trump has repeatedly said Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, and the White House has previously listed dozens of statements showing that position as a long-running policy line.
But the next stage will be judged by what the written terms require, not only by what leaders say publicly.
Key unresolved questions include verification, enrichment limits, inspections and how quickly sanctions relief would follow compliance.
Hormuz Shipping and Frozen Assets Add Economic Pressure
The agreement is also being watched because of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Guardian reported that the memorandum includes terms linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing pressure on shipping.
That makes the deal important beyond diplomacy.
Energy markets, tanker routes and Gulf security all depend on whether the shipping lane stays open under enforceable terms.
Reuters reported that markets were already weighing the agreement Tuesday, with investors watching whether the diplomatic opening reduces regional risk.

The second stage now becomes the real test of the Trump Iran deal.
A signed memorandum can lower immediate pressure, but implementation will require clarity on nuclear verification, sanctions timing and regional military commitments.
The Guardian reported that Vice President JD Vance described the memorandum as a broad framework, with details still requiring further negotiation.
That leaves room for competing interpretations from Washington, Tehran and regional governments.
The agreement may calm markets in the short term, but its durability depends on whether both sides accept the same written obligations.
