Trump Reiterates Iran Must Never Have Nuclear Weapons

In an interview with Fox News on August 31, 2026, Trump asserted that Iran 'should not be allowed' to have nuclear weapons and that 'they will not have them.' He added that economic pressure has prevented Iran from acquiring such weapons. The statement was reported by Infobae and echoed in other outlets. Infobae noted that Trump described Iranian leaders as 'very violent and evil people,' while Yeni-S-Afak reported that Trump claimed economic pressure had been effective in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. No direct evidence of Iranian nuclear progress was cited in the reports. The remarks align with Trump's long-standing stance on Iran's nuclear program, though they do not address recent developments or potential diplomatic pathways.
