WASHINGTON, October 4. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump is confident that Iran has abandoned all plans to acquire nuclear weapons. Iran, as you know, is virtually giving up any plans of a nuclear weapon, he said in response to reporters’ questions on the South Lawn of the White House.

Iranian authorities have repeatedly stated that they do not seek to acquire nuclear weapons. Trump added that he still has to make a decision on Iran but provided no details.

The US leader also said that Iran has been defeated and expressed confidence that the conflict with the Islamic Republic could end either well or badly. The United States and Israel began the war with Iran on February 28, 2026.

Washington and Tehran signed the memorandum of understanding in June providing for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

However, the US regime resumed large-scale strikes on Iran overnight on July 8, accusing Tehran of violating the terms of the agreements regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

About 25% of global oil trade and around 20% of liquefied natural gas trade passes through the strait.

The US administration then effectively signaled an end to the use of large-scale military force against Iran and a shift toward an attempt to economically strangle the country through sanctions.

What a piece of crap, Iran never pursued nuclear weapons because it does not need to, sanctions were meant to steal Iranian assets and derail its economy.
