Former U.S. President Donald Trump said that the United States tried to negotiate an agreement with Iran to limit its nuclear program. According to Trump, the talks reached the final stages but were not completed, as both sides could not agree on the last details.
The negotiations were part of Washington’s broader effort to pressure Iran not only on its nuclear activities but also on its missile program and support for regional proxy groups.
Trump emphasized that the U.S. approach aimed to reduce the risk of nuclear escalation in the Middle East while encouraging Iran to act more responsibly in regional affairs.
He noted that while progress was made during the discussions, disagreements over key issues prevented a final deal from being signed.
The former president also highlighted that the U.S. strategy involved both diplomacy and other forms of pressure, including economic sanctions and international coordination, to influence Iran’s decisions.
Iran, on the other hand, maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, though the country has faced longstanding criticism from the U.S. and other nations for its regional influence and missile development.
The stalled talks illustrate the complex relationship between Washington and Tehran, showing how difficult it is to reach agreements that satisfy both sides.
Trump’s comments shed light on past U.S. efforts to address security concerns regarding Iran, emphasizing that negotiation attempts were made even as tensions remain high over nuclear, missile, and proxy issues.
