Washington: US President Donald Trump has asserted that Iran has committed to never acquiring a nuclear weapon, describing the pledge as a key outcome of the emerging understanding between Washington and Tehran. At the same time, he strongly denied reports claiming that the United States would provide Iran with $300 million, calling the allegation “fake news.”
In a message shared on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump declared that Iran had agreed to permanently forgo nuclear weapons. He also dismissed speculation regarding a financial package from Washington, accusing his political opponents of spreading misinformation.
The statement comes amid growing attention over the recently announced US-Iran diplomatic framework, which aims to reduce tensions in the region and establish the basis for broader negotiations on security and economic issues. Reports indicate that nuclear commitments are expected to form a central pillar of the proposed agreement.
Trump’s latest remarks also sought to counter circulating claims that the US would transfer $300 million to Tehran as part of the arrangement. Without providing additional details, he categorically rejected the reports and insisted that no such payment was being considered.
The question of Iran’s nuclear programme has remained one of the most sensitive issues in relations between the two countries. Negotiators are expected to discuss verification mechanisms, uranium enrichment limits and long-term monitoring measures during upcoming rounds of talks aimed at finalising a broader settlement.

Trump has repeatedly maintained that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is the primary objective of his administration’s engagement with Tehran. The White House has similarly emphasised that any agreement must ensure Iran does not develop or acquire nuclear arms.
While the President’s social media post has generated widespread political discussion, details of the proposed agreement and its implementation are expected to become clearer as negotiations continue and official documents are released.
