You will never be permitted to possess nuclear weapons — Trump tells Iranian leaders

United States President Donald Trump has informed Iranian leaders that Iran will never be permitted to possess nuclear weapons.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House, President Trump claimed that Iran had previously agreed to allow the removal of all its enriched uranium but later reneged on the arrangement.

He explained that the deal fell through because the terms were not formally documented, leading to a sudden shift in Iran’s position.

Reaffirming his foreign policy objectives, Trump stated that his plan remains simple: ensuring Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon.

He further characterized Iran’s recent missile strikes against Gulf nations including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain as a tremendous strategic mistake that caught many in the international community by surprise.

Addressing the domestic economic impact of regional instability, the President predicted that soaring oil and gas prices in the United States would drop like a rock immediately following the conclusion of the conflict.

He emphasized that the current energy market volatility is a direct result of the ongoing war and expressed confidence in a swift recovery once hostilities cease.
