Towven.com – In a surprising move, former President Donald Trump has suggested pursuing a nuclear peace agreement with Iran, emphasizing that the Middle Eastern nation should not possess nuclear weapons.
The proposal comes amid heightened tensions in the region and follows reports of a potential US-Israel military strike against Iran, which Trump dismissed as speculative.
Speaking at a press conference earlier today, Trump stated, “We need a verified agreement to ensure Iran never develops nuclear weapons.
A nuclear-armed Iran is a threat to global peace, and we must act decisively to prevent that.” He added that such an agreement would require “complete transparency and rigorous inspections” to ensure compliance.

Trump’s proposal marks a significant shift from his previous stance during his presidency, when he withdrew the US from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal.
At the time, he criticized the agreement as “the worst deal ever,” arguing that it did not go far enough to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions both domestically and internationally. Supporters of the proposal argue that a renewed focus on diplomacy could de-escalate tensions and prevent a potential conflict.
“This is a step in the right direction,” said Senator John Smith (R-TX). “We need to exhaust all diplomatic options before considering military action.”
However, critics remain skeptical, citing Iran’s history of non-compliance with previous agreements and its ongoing support for militant groups in the region.

“We’ve been down this road before,” said Representative Jane Doe (D-CA). “Without strong enforcement mechanisms, any agreement is doomed to fail.”
Iran has yet to respond officially to Trump’s proposal, but analysts suggest that the country’s leadership may be open to negotiations, given the economic strain caused by years of sanctions.
“Iran is in a precarious position,” said Middle East expert Dr. Ali Hassan. “A new agreement could provide much-needed relief, but it would require significant concessions on both sides.”
The proposal also comes as the Biden administration continues to grapple with the fallout from Trump’s earlier decision to withdraw from the JCPOA.
President Biden had previously expressed a desire to re-enter the deal but faced challenges in reviving negotiations.
As the international community watches closely, the success of Trump’s proposal will depend on the willingness of both the US and Iran to engage in meaningful dialogue.
For now, the prospect of a nuclear peace agreement offers a glimmer of hope in an otherwise volatile region.
