Trump warns no nuclear weapons ahead of Iran peace talks – high‑stakes diplomatic gamble

Trump warns no nuclear weapons as Iran talks loom

In a stark address, Donald Trump warned that no nuclear weapons would be tolerated in any agreement emerging from the upcoming high‑stakes Iran peace talks. The proclamation comes as U.S. inflation climbs to a ↓ 5.2% two‑year high, intensifying pressure on the former president to broker a durable settlement.

“The United States will not compromise on nuclear safety,” Trump said during a televised briefing.

Analysts from Reuters note that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions remain a flashpoint, and any diplomatic breakthrough must reconcile security guarantees with economic concessions. Meanwhile, the Treasury reports a ↑ $1.3 billion surge in foreign direct investment linked to prospective sanctions relief. Critics argue the rhetoric could backfire, risking escalation at a time when global markets are already jittery. The stakes are amplified by domestic political calculations ahead of the upcoming midterm cycle.
