Washington DC: US President Donald Trump has said that any future nuclear deal with Iran under his administration would involve no financial concessions and would be fundamentally different from the agreement reached during former President Barack Obama’s tenure.

Trump sharply criticised the Obama-era Iran deal, arguing it provided Tehran with large financial benefits and a pathway to nuclear capability, while asserting that his approach would be stricter and more restrictive.

In a social media post, Trump said, “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn't even fully negotiated yet. So don't listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don't make bad deals! President DJT,” he added.

Meanwhile, US Senator Lindsey Graham expressed support for Trump’s emerging Iran strategy, suggesting that any long-term agreement with Tehran should be linked to an expansion of the Abraham Accords, potentially including Saudi Arabia and other Muslim-majority nations normalising ties with Israel.

In a post on X, Graham said, “Sen. Lindsey Graham signalled strong support for President Donald Trump's emerging Iran strategy Sunday, arguing that any long-term agreement with Tehran should be tied to a dramatic expansion of the Abraham Accords that would include Saudi Arabia and other major Muslim nations normalising relations with Israel.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also weighed in on ongoing diplomatic and security discussions with Trump regarding Iran and regional developments.

In a post on X, Netanyahu said, “I spoke last night with President Donald Trump about the memorandum of understanding to reopen the Straits of Hormuz and the upcoming negotiations toward a final agreement on Iran's nuclear programme. I expressed my deep appreciation to President Trump for his unwavering commitment to Israel's security, including during Operation Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, when American and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat.”
