Trump, ‘nuclear power is discussed in depth in my agreement’
“CNN, a source of fake news, claimed today as usual that my Iran nuclear deal does not talk about nuclear power, when in fact it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have nuclear weapons. He then goes on, in great detail and depth, to discuss various other aspects of nuclear power. In fact, that is the main theme of the agreement’. Thus on Truth US President Donald Trump. “CNN, and so many other media outlets that spread fake news, is a disaster with very low ratings. Even with new ownership, things are unlikely to ever improve.”
Iran, Trump shares draft agreement with Israel and other allies
US President Donald Trump has circulated the draft peace agreement for the war with Iran among allies, including Israel, while attempts are underway to prevent new ceasefire violations from escalating and derailing any agreement. Meanwhile, in an effort to accelerate negotiations, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, will be in Washington today to meet with his US counterpart, Marco Rubio.
Yesterday, Tehran targeted a US air base in Kuwait after Washington struck what it called an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the fragility of the situation as both negotiating parties refuse to give in on the final points of disagreement. On Wednesday, Trump’s cabinet was scheduled to discuss the deal, but Axios – which reported on the terms of the deal reached – reported that the US president needed a few more days to reflect on the eventual go-ahead.
The draft shared by Trump is not much different from the one that has been circulating in the Middle East for days, according to which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened to commercial shipping, the US blockade of Iranian ports would be lifted, and Iran would be granted access to some $12 billion (£9 billion) in frozen assets.
The goal would be to restore cross-strait commercial traffic to pre-war levels within 30 days and to begin negotiations, expected to last up to 60 days, on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme. These would include discussions on the stockpile of highly enriched uranium, a temporary suspension of further enrichment, and supervision by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN nuclear watchdog. Iran would renounce the use of nuclear weapons.
US Vice-President JD Vance said yesterday that both sides were close to an agreement, but that a couple of sticking points persisted in talks with Tehran concerning enriched uranium stockpiles and the enrichment issue. “It is difficult to say exactly when, or if, the president will sign” the memorandum of understanding. “We are still discussing a couple of points related to the wording,” Vance said.
China is lobbying the UN Security Council to ratify any agreement. The current scope of the deal would be deeply unacceptable to Israel because it postpones any final nuclear commitment by Iran and requires a permanent ceasefire that includes Lebanon, the Guardian reported.
