Trump sets nuclear red line
U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon in a post on Truth Social.
“‘Iran cannot have nuclear weapons!’ Trump said in his post on his Truth Social account.”
Trump wrote, “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon!” and he also posted, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!!!”.
The statement came as negotiations between the United States and Iran over the nuclear program continued.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country is ready to negotiate on the restrictions on its nuclear program and inspections under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and he said rebuilding trust was necessary when asked about meeting Trump.
Tehran links talks to inspectors
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with CBS that Iran does not seek to possess a nuclear weapon, and he said its development is “religiously forbidden” in Iran. Pezeshkian also indicated Tehran’s willingness to allow UN nuclear inspectors to return within the framework of negotiations.
Tehran proposed a plan to stop the war and resume talks on the nuclear issue, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz after seven days if the United States agrees to its conditions. Trump rejected the proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for seven days, and the Wall Street Journal reported earlier that he did so.
Hormuz and wider pressure
Iran International said Trump used his address to the United Nations General Assembly to call for Iran’s “complete economic isolation,” while saying he expects the bombardment to resume after the midterm elections in November.
Iran International also said the Iraqi government announced it is conducting direct talks with Washington to exclude some of the country’s airports from the U.S. Treasury sanctions imposed on Iranian flights.
Iran International reported that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warned at United Nations General Assembly meetings on Friday, September 25, that the Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab straits must not become bottlenecks for confrontation.
Iran International said an Iraqi militia leader backed by Iran, Akram al-Kaabi, threatened protests at airports unless Iranian flights are resumed.
