TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Donald Trump said the only guarantee he had from Iran is that "there will no nuclear weapons," without offering details, as DW reported.
"The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons. They've agreed to that, and it was very interesting," Trump told Fox News' Lara Trump. She is the president's daughter-in-law.
Trump reportedly held off on signing a preliminary agreement with Iran that would have started a new round of talks on Iran's nuclear program among other things.
Trump has repeatedly said the primary objective for the U.S. war against Iran is to ensure that the country will never have a nuclear weapon.
But Tehran has refused to hand over weapons-grade nuclear material over the course of the war that has now lasted three months.
Trump asks for edits to potential agreement with Iran
Previously, Trump asked for edits to an agreement with Iran before he signs off on it, multiple news media outlets reported on Sunday.
Axios reported that Trump asked to strengthen several points that are important to him, particularly around Iran's nuclear material.
The New York Times also reported that Trump's changes involved toughening the terms of the deal. The president has sent the new framework back to be considered by Iran, the newspaper quoted officials familiar with the proceedings as saying.
The Associated Press reported earlier this week that the agreement reached between U.S. and Iranian negotiators would have required Iran to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
Trump has reportedly been seeking advice to make sure that the tentative agreement between U.S. and Iranian negotiators was strong enough.
A CNN report earlier this week said the president has been fixated on ensuring the deal can be marketed as stronger than the 2015 Obama-era nuclear deal from which he withdrew during his first term.
