WASHINGTON, D.C. March 24, 2026 — U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran has agreed it will not develop or possess nuclear weapons, describing the development as a significant breakthrough in ongoing negotiations amid the 2026 Iran conflict.
In remarks shared Monday evening via the official U.S. Department of State X account, Trump said: “There won’t be any nuclear weapons. Iran has agreed to that. We’re in a good bargaining position. We’re way ahead of schedule and they have no navy, air force, or missile protection. Most of their launches we’ve killed.”
The statement comes days after Trump postponed planned U.S. strikes on Iranian power plants and reported “major points of agreement” in indirect talks with Tehran. According to multiple reports, the discussions—mediated in part through Oman—have focused on Iran surrendering its enriched uranium stockpiles, halting uranium enrichment, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has repeatedly framed recent U.S. and Israeli military operations, which began on February 28, 2026, as having severely degraded Iran’s military infrastructure. He has described the talks as “very, very good” and said Tehran “wants to settle” and “wants peace.”
Iranian officials have pushed back against the claims. State media and senior figures have denied any formal agreement on abandoning its nuclear program or engaging in direct negotiations with the Trump administration, calling some reports part of a “plot to sow division.”
The development follows weeks of escalating tensions, including Iranian attacks on U.S. bases and continued missile exchanges targeting Israel. Trump has alternated between issuing ultimatums and signaling openness to a diplomatic resolution, including a potential 15-point framework that would include limits on Iran’s missile program.
The U.S. Department of State’s post of Trump’s comments has drawn significant attention online, with supporters hailing it as a major foreign-policy win and critics questioning the accuracy of the claims given Iran’s public denials.
As of Tuesday morning, no joint statement has been issued by both sides confirming the specifics of any agreement. The White House has not released further details on the next steps in the negotiations.
