Trump Says Iran Has Abandoned Many Nuclear Weapons Plans

US President Donald Trump reiterated early Sunday that Iran would not obtain a nuclear weapon, renewing his firm stance on the issue.

Trump said Tehran had already abandoned many of its plans related to nuclear weapons, presenting that shift as something that had effectively taken place.

His assertion concerned a substantial portion of Iran’s alleged weapons-related plans, rather than a complete abandonment of its nuclear programme.

The remarks paired a claim about steps Trump said Iran had already taken with his renewed insistence that it would not acquire a nuclear weapon.
