US President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed not only to refrain from developing nuclear weapons but also from acquiring them, describing the provision as a key achievement of ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
Speaking during a call with supporters, Trump said an earlier draft of the agreement addressed the development of nuclear weapons but did not explicitly prohibit their purchase.
“They had a clause they won’t develop. I said, ‘What about purchasing?’” Trump said.
“Two days later, they agreed to that. We got everything we wanted.” Iran has not publicly confirmed the details of any proposed agreement.
