ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE June 16, 2026 — President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Tuesday at the G7 Summit in France, declaring that the Islamic Republic would face catastrophic consequences if it pursues a nuclear weapon.
Speaking during a bilateral meeting at the summit, Trump emphasized that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities remains a top priority for his administration.
“If they do, they suffer unbelievable consequences… the ultimate consequences,” Trump said. He added that Iran “will not be permitted to develop, buy, or acquire one” if it seeks “a very good relationship” with the United States.
The comments come amid ongoing discussions about a recently announced U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending hostilities, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and addressing nuclear concerns. Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons as part of the deal.
In the Fox News clip from the event, Trump is seen seated in an armchair against a backdrop featuring repeated G7 France 2026 logos, the U.S. flag, and official seals. He gestures minimally while speaking directly, hands clasped, underscoring his firm stance.
The remarks align with Trump’s long-standing “maximum pressure” approach toward Tehran, even as the U.S. navigates the implementation of the new truce following a period of conflict that disrupted global energy markets.
G7 leaders are expected to discuss the Iran deal, its enforcement, and broader regional stability during the summit in the French Alps. Reactions to the agreement have been mixed, with some allies expressing skepticism about its long-term viability.
Iran has not publicly commented on Trump’s latest warning in immediate reports. The situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts continue.
