US President Donald Trump declares Iran ‘has agreed to never have a nuclear weapon’

US President Donald Trump said that Iran agreed not to ever have a nuclear weapon, the Guardian reported on Tuesday.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump also referred to a report that Washington is considering establishing a $300 billion fund for Iran if it upholds a final agreeement to end the war, including a nuclear deal.

“Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!,” Trump said on his platform.

Earlier, US Vice President JD Vance stated that nuclear inspectors will “absolutely” be allowed to return to Iran as part of the deal with the US to end the war.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said on Monday that it intercepted “numerous rockets” launched by Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group, and that not injuries were reported.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces will also remain in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. Netanyahu added that though the war saved Israel from the threat of nuclear annihilation, Israel will continue to thwart threats in the region and will do what it takes to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
