US President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that Iran has committed to never obtaining a nuclear weapon, as Washington and Tehran advance toward an accord to conclude over 100 days of hostilities and begin talks on a lasting settlement.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that Iran has agreed to forgo nuclear arms and dismissed claims of a $300 million US payment to Iran as fabricated stories from Democrats.
The statement followed the signing of a preliminary deal between the United States and Iran to halt the conflict and set up discussions on Tehran’s nuclear activities and sanctions easing, though specifics remain vague and permanent truce talks continue.
Trump also rejected media accounts of financial incentives offered to Iran, noting that recent reports refer to $300 billion rather than $300 million.
Vice President JD Vance supported the claim, emphasizing that blocking Iran’s nuclear capability has been a key goal. He described the emerging deal as a diplomatic achievement resulting from administration efforts.
Trump announced the preliminary agreement earlier while in France for the G7 summit and indicated Vance would attend a signing event in Geneva.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called the memorandum an important move toward ending fighting but stressed that a final truce agreement is still pending.
Reports differ on the $300 billion figure. Iranian sources link it to reconstruction demands, alongside asset releases and sanctions relief. Western accounts portray it as an investment program involving private capital.
The draft memorandum is described as brief and general, covering sanctions relief, IAEA inspections, and uranium stockpile reductions. Iran must meet conditions including no nuclear weapons and ending support for certain groups before full benefits apply.
