“They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon – that’s number one. That’s number one, two, and three,” he said.
Trump added that Iran had “agreed” to this condition.
Earlier Trump said he is postponing threatened military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure for five days, citing what he described as “very good and productive conversations” with Tehran over the weekend.
However, Clash Report media, citing Iranian officials, reported that Tehran appeared to reject Trump’s account of diplomatic progress.
Media outlets affiliated with Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said no direct talks had taken place, claiming instead that Washington had backed down under the threat of retaliation.
Tehran has shown no public sign of complying with US demands to reopen Hormuz. Instead, Iranian officials on Monday escalated their rhetoric, warning they could deploy naval mines in the Gulf – a tactic used during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s – and target energy infrastructure across the region if attacked.
