Trump says any Iran deal must be 'great and meaningful' or there will be no deal
US President Donald Trump said Monday that any potential agreement with Iran would need to be “great and meaningful,” warning that otherwise there would be no agreement. Trump made the statement on his Truth Social platform, adding that any deal would be “the exact opposite” of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which he described as “a direct and open path to a Nuclear Weapon for Iran.”
US President Donald Trump said Monday that any potential agreement with Iran would need to be "great and meaningful," warning that otherwise there would be no agreement.
"The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one, or there will be no deal," Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
Trump also said any possible agreement would be "the exact opposite" of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action negotiated during the administration of former President Barack Obama in 2015. Criticizing the 2015 accord, Trump described it as "a direct and open path to a Nuclear Weapon for Iran."
"No, I don't do deals like that!" he added.
The statement comes a day after Trump said on May 24 that a deal with Iran was "largely negotiated" and that Iran had agreed to a draft plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiations for a "forever cease-fire" with Iran have stalled in recent weeks without resolution, and Gulf states convinced Trump to suspend imminent US strikes on Iran on May 19.
