Trump calls Iran talks 'constructive' but vows blockade until deal signed

US President Donald Trump on Sunday characterized negotiations with Iran as "orderly and constructive," insisting that the blockade would remain in full force until a final agreement is reached, certified, and signed, according to a post on his Truth Social platform. He warned that Tehran must not develop or acquire nuclear weapons, stating that the current diplomatic engagement is becoming "much more professional and productive" than previous efforts.

Trump emphasized that both sides must "take their time and get it right," adding that "there can be no mistakes" in the final settlement. The blockade will continue to pressure Tehran throughout the negotiating process, he said, ensuring that no pathway toward nuclear armament remains open.

Abraham Accords and regional support

The US leader thanked Middle Eastern countries for their "support and cooperation" in the ongoing diplomatic efforts, suggesting that regional engagement would be strengthened through broader participation in the Abraham Accords — a normalization pact that has previously included Israel and several Arab states. He floated the possibility that Iran could one day join the framework as part of a broader regional realignment.

Rejection of 2015 nuclear deal

Trump sharply criticized the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, calling it "one of the worst agreements ever made" and blaming former President Barack Obama’s administration for crafting what he described as a flawed deal. He contrasted this with current negotiations, which he described as "far better" and part of a more effective approach designed to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear capabilities.
