He stressed that while diplomacy remains his preferred path, his administration would never allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
Trump indicated that negotiations with Tehran are ongoing, though he suggested progress has stalled because Iran has not met key conditions required for an agreement. He underscored that any potential deal must fully address concerns about nuclear development.
