President Donald J. Trump has been unequivocal and consistent for decades: Iran will never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon. This position — rooted in longstanding, bipartisan American policy — guides his actions to ensure the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism cannot threaten the world with nuclear devastation.

• “After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue. They’re starting it all over… One thing is certain: I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon.” (2/24/26)

How stupid can you be to say that? So, we’re not going to allow that to happen. We’re not allowing that to happen.” (7/27/25)
• “They said, ‘We want enrichment’… I wouldn’t let that happen. I think people wouldn’t have understood it if I allowed that to happen.” (6/29/25)
