U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday that Iran has agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons, though he emphasized that the country could still reverse its position.
Speaking on the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast, Trump highlighted the conditional nature of the agreement, noting that Tehran's stance remains subject to change.
This development follows a broader pattern of diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with Trump previously expressing dissatisfaction with peace overtures from the Iranian regime.
The latest remarks come amid stalled efforts to resolve a two-month-old conflict involving the United States and Israel.
The geopolitical uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran relations has historically influenced global markets, particularly in energy and defense sectors.
Analysts are now assessing whether Trump's comments signal a potential easing of tensions or a continuation of the volatile status quo., with no immediate clarity on how Iran will respond to Trump's remarks.
