Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that the United States would not lift sanctions on Iran, even if the country were to provide enriched uranium. This comment was made as the U.S. and Iran work toward an agreement aimed at de-escalating tensions across the Middle East in recent months.
During a brief phone call with PBS News, the former American president categorically rejected the notion of easing sanctions on Iran as part of any accord concerning the nation’s nuclear program. “No, absolutely not. There will be no sanctions relief,” Trump stated, indicating that any potential agreement would not include the removal of existing sanctions.
This stance suggests that, according to Trump, the issue of sanctions is separate from any potential diplomatic resolution regarding Iran’s nuclear activities. The remarks come amid ongoing negotiations intended to resolve escalating tensions in the region. Trump’s firm position implies that the removal of sanctions is not contingent upon, nor will it be granted in exchange for, cooperation on the nuclear issue.
The former president’s comments set a clear boundary regarding the terms under which any future deal involving Iran might be structured.
