"We wiped it out and they want to start all over again. And they're at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions... We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words: We will never have a nuclear weapon."
"Trump said his preference was to solve this problem through diplomacy, but one thing is certain: I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen."
"Iran has insisted for years that its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes only. Neither US intelligence nor the UN's nuclear watchdog found any evidence last year that Iran was pursuing atomic weapons."
During his State of the Union address, Trump adopted a confrontational stance toward Iran while simultaneously expressing openness to diplomatic solutions. He accused Iran of rebuilding its nuclear program following US military strikes in June 2025, claiming the sites were completely destroyed despite expert disputes. Trump demanded Iran explicitly state it will never pursue nuclear weapons as a prerequisite for negotiations. He also alleged Iran was developing missiles capable of reaching the US mainland. Trump emphasized his position that Iran, which he labeled the world's leading terror sponsor, must never obtain nuclear weapons. However, Iran maintains its nuclear program serves civilian purposes exclusively, and neither US intelligence nor the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency found evidence of weapons development.
