Trump also made clear that any agreement failing to meet those standards would not survive.
“It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!” Trump wrote.
The message underscored Trump’s familiar negotiating style: maximum pressure combined with a clear warning that military options remain available if diplomacy fails.
The president later expanded on what he envisions happening to Iran’s remaining stockpile of enriched uranium.
According to Trump, the material would ultimately be removed and destroyed under international oversight.
“He added that Iran’s enriched uranium, ‘which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED.'”
That proposal appears designed to address one of the biggest concerns surrounding previous negotiations with Tehran: verification. Critics of earlier agreements argued that Iran retained too much control over its nuclear infrastructure and could eventually restart weapons development.
Trump also sought to reassure skeptics who remember the Obama-era nuclear agreement.
For years, conservatives have argued that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action provided Iran with financial benefits while failing to permanently eliminate the nuclear threat.
Trump made it clear that his approach would be fundamentally different.
One of the most notable provisions he highlighted involved money.
“Also, addressing a sticking point with those who remember the disastrous Obama-engineered Iran nuclear deal, otherwise known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Trump promised that ‘no money will be exchanged, until further notice.'”
That statement is likely to resonate with many voters who opposed the Obama administration’s handling of Iran and viewed financial concessions as a major strategic mistake.
As anticipation built, Trump revealed he was moving directly into decision-making mode.
“I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The latest developments follow reports that surfaced last weekend suggesting negotiators had already made substantial progress toward a framework agreement. Sources indicated that only a handful of unresolved issues remained, including specific language and enforcement mechanisms.
Trump previously emphasized that any agreement emerging from these talks would bear little resemblance to the deal negotiated under former President Barack Obama.
“It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama Administration, which was a direct and open path to a Nuclear Weapon for Iran,” Trump said. “No, I don’t do deals like that!”
Additional reports released Thursday suggested American and Iranian officials had tentatively discussed a 60-day extension of the current ceasefire arrangement. The proposal reportedly includes provisions aimed at ensuring Iran’s nuclear infrastructure is permanently dismantled.
Despite growing optimism, administration officials have cautioned that the finish line has not yet been crossed.
Vice President J.D. Vance offered a measured assessment while speaking with reporters.
“We’re not there yet, but we’re very close and we’re going to keep on working at it,” Vance said.
For now, all eyes remain on the White House.
Trump’s decision could shape the future of U.S.-Iran relations, influence stability throughout the Middle East, and determine whether diplomacy succeeds where previous administrations struggled. As negotiations enter what appears to be their final stage, supporters are watching closely to see whether the president can secure a deal that eliminates Iran’s nuclear threat without repeating the mistakes of the past.
