President Donald Trump declared on Monday that any potential agreement with Iran must be "great and meaningful" or there will be "no deal at all." The statement underscores the administration's hardline stance amid ongoing tensions over Tehran's nuclear program.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump emphasized that the United States is open to negotiations but will not accept a weak or one-sided pact. "We're looking for a deal that truly benefits everyone, not just one side," he said.
The comments come as diplomatic efforts remain deadlocked, with Iran demanding the lifting of sanctions before returning to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew from in 2018. The president has repeatedly called for a comprehensive agreement that addresses Iran's ballistic missile program and regional influence.
