The American president criticized the old pact with the Iranian country signed in 2015
United States President Donald Trump said that if a deal with Iran is reached under his administration “it will guarantee peace, security and safety” and “will be much better” than the nuclear deal made with the Iranian country in 2015, during Barack Obama’s term and continued during Joe Biden’s presidency. “One of the worst agreements ever made regarding the security of our country,” Trump wrote in a post on the social network this Monday (20).
Trump criticized the old agreement and said it was a threat to national security, a “disgrace” to the American country, and a sure path to nuclear weapons. “If I had not rescinded this “deal,” nuclear weapons would have been used against Israel and throughout the Middle East, including our valuable American military bases,” he argued.
US truce with Iran
Donald Trump had already declared, also this Monday, that the and that it is “highly unlikely that the ceasefire will last” beyond the two weeks that have been given. The truce between the US and Iran began on April 7th.
The statement was made in an interview with Bloomberg and comes at a delicate moment in the ceasefire between the two parties due to recent events, one of which was the attack and capture of an Iranian ship by United States forces.
Another point of tension in relation to the negotiations is that the United States delegation is on its way to Pakistan for the second round of negotiations. However, the Iranians reported on Sunday (19) that they have no interest in participating, they claim that the United States has made “excessive demands” and “irrational demands”. “Under these conditions, there is no clear scenario for successful negotiations,” said the IRNA agency.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian, however, declared once again that he rejects US peace efforts and that the country will not submit to them. “A deep historical mistrust of Iran regarding the conduct of the US government persists, while contradictory and unconstructive signals from American officials convey a bitter message: they seek Iran’s surrender. Iranians do not submit to force,” he declared in a post on X this Monday.
