Trump at National Cemetery: "Iran Will Never Possess Nuclear Weapons"
'Nuclear Weapons Ban' Highlighted as Top Priority Amid Pivotal End-of-War Negotiations with Iran
On Memorial Day, U.S. President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery and declared on the 25th (local time), "Iran will never possess nuclear weapons."
During his Memorial Day commemoration speech, President Trump noted that 13 U.S. service members lost their lives during the "Epic Fury" operation as he made these remarks.
President Trump stated, "These incredible men and women gave their lives to ensure that the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism would never acquire nuclear weapons."
The prohibition of nuclear weapons in Iran has consistently been emphasized by President Trump as a non-negotiable 'red line' during end-of-war negotiations with Iran. Previously, he had indicated that a conclusion to the negotiations with Iran was near, leading to speculation that the issue of denuclearization could be deprioritized compared to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. As some within the Republican Party opposed this, President Trump once again underscored the ban on nuclear weapons, drawing attention.
