Trump: New Iran deal is completely different from JCPOA

Elaha Mon May 2026 4 months ago 567

Meanwhile, some Republicans and conservative figures close to Trump have criticized the negotiation process and compared it to the 2015 nuclear deal; an agreement from which Trump withdrew during his first term as president.


In response to these criticisms, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the agreement from Barack Obama's era was one of the worst deals ever signed. He claimed that agreement had paved the way for the Islamic Republic to acquire nuclear weapons. Trump emphasized that the new agreement would be "completely the opposite" of the JCPOA and added that its details have not yet been released.


The U.S. President has also stated that he has instructed his representatives not to rush to reach an agreement and that both sides should have sufficient time to finalize it. He stressed that the naval blockade of Iran will remain in place until the agreement is confirmed and signed. At the same time, a U.S. official told Axios that Mojtaba Khamenei has agreed to the overall framework of the agreement; however, it is still unclear whether this process will lead to a final agreement.


According to this official, the draft agreement includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting the naval blockade of Iran. Additionally, Iran would in principle agree to set aside its stockpiles of enriched uranium; but the two sides still disagree on the manner of implementing this measure.


The Trump administration wants all of Iran's approximately two thousand kilograms of enriched uranium to be included in the agreement, not just the 450 kilograms of uranium close to weapons-grade levels.


Meanwhile, Israeli officials have said that Benjamin Netanyahu has deep concerns about the emerging agreement. In a phone call with Trump, he demanded the dismantling of Iran's nuclear facilities and the removal of all enriched uranium from the country. The Islamic Republic has previously opposed these conditions and stated that it will not waive its right to enrich uranium.

Donald Trump, President of the United States, has stated that a potential agreement with the Islamic Republic has not yet been finalized; if it is signed, it would be "good and right." He had previously said that the agreement text might be finalized by the end of Sunday.
