US President Donald Trump made striking remarks while negotiations with Iran continue. Speaking at the G7 Summit, Trump emphasized that the fundamental condition of any deal is that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, and warned that if Tehran attempts such a move, 'all hell will break loose.' Trump's harsh statement resonated in the international public opinion during a period of ongoing diplomatic contacts between the two countries.

US President Donald Trump made notable statements regarding the negotiations with Iran at the G7 Summit held in France.

Speaking to journalists, Trump stated that the most critical provision of the agreement is to ensure that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, saying, "The only thing that really matters to me is that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. That is very clearly written in this agreement."

Trump also expressed that Iran would face very severe consequences if it attempted to acquire nuclear weapons, conveying the message, "If they have such intentions, hell will rain down on them."

AGREEMENT MOVES TO SECOND PHASE

According to reports in the foreign press, the agreement being worked on between the US and Iran is said to have moved to a second phase. The process is reported to include topics such as monitoring nuclear activities, the future of sanctions, and reducing regional tensions.

While the Trump administration emphasizes Iran's non-development of nuclear weapons as an indispensable condition of the agreement, Tehran has long argued that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful energy purposes.

CAUTIOUS APPROACH IN ISRAEL AND EUROPE

The agreement is also closely followed by the international community. European countries express support for the process while stating they are waiting for details to become clear, while on the Israeli front, criticisms of the agreement are emerging.
