Trump signals Iran nuclear deal possible, emphasizing weapons prevention focus
Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that a potential deal with Iran is approximately 99% focused on preventing nuclear weapons development, signaling a shift in negotiating priorities. The statement comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear program and its strategic control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Experts analyzing Trump's comments debate whether U.S. demands have fundamentally changed and what concessions Iran might demand in return. This development carries significant implications for Middle Eastern stability, oil markets, and U.S. foreign policy direction heading into 2026.
