The president of the United States, Donald Trump, indicated this Wednesday that the Iranian authorities have agreed to renounce the development of nuclear weapons and has once again pointed to an imminent agreement between the two countries after having maintained conversations”positive in the last 24 hours.
“Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, and will not have them; furthermore, it has accepted that, among other things (…) They want to reach an agreement. We have had very positive conversations in the last 24 hours, and it is very possible that we will reach an agreement,” he said in statements to the press from the Oval Office, without giving more details about that supposed exchange.
Iran cannot and will not have nuclear weapons
Previously, the tenant of the White House has assured that his Administration will acquire enriched uranium from Iran. “We are going to achieve it,” he said during an event held at the Presidency headquarters in honor of military mothers.
End to Hormuz blockade if Tehran “accepts”
On the other hand, he assures that he will end the ‘Epic Fury’ operation against Iran and lift the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz if Tehran “agrees to comply with what was agreed”, although he has reiterated his threats to bomb the Asian country.
Trump’s words coincide with information published by the Axios portal, which assures that Washington would be waiting for an Iranian response in the next 48 hours on several key points of a proposal to agree on the definitive end of the conflict and establish a framework for broader negotiations on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
According to White House officials cited by the portal, this is the moment in which both parties have been closest to reaching an agreement since the start of the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28. Both countries are immersed in a dialogue process mediated by Pakistan to try to reach an agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East.
However, differences in positions have so far prevented the holding of a second meeting in Islamabad, which hosted a first face-to-face meeting after the ceasefire agreement, which has since been extended without a deadline by Trump.
