Donald Trump Claims New Iran Deal Will Prevent Nuclear Weapons, Contrasting with Obama-Era Agreement

On May 25, 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that any future Iran deal under his leadership would differ significantly from the Obama-era agreement. He claimed his proposed deal would prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, unlike the previous agreement which he alleged provided funds and a path to a bomb. The statements were made during a public address in the United States.

Trump stated during a press conference in Washington, D.C., that his administration would pursue a 'good and proper' Iran deal that would ensure Iran could not develop nuclear weapons. He criticized the Obama-era agreement, which he claimed allowed Iran to receive substantial financial support and progress toward a nuclear bomb. The remarks were reported by Middle East Eye and the Times of India, both of which cited Trump's direct statements.
