Months of tension in the Middle East came to an end when Iran-US signed a peace deal. Both the countries had also agreed on many conditions. But once again the tension regarding the nuclear program seems to be increasing. US President Donald Trump has clearly warned that if Iran does not allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to inspect nuclear sites, then the ongoing talks and meetings with Tehran will be cancelled.
Trump stressed that Iran had already promised to approve the investigation during ongoing negotiations. He said, Iran has informed us internally and we have 100 percent certainty to inspect. Trump dismissed concerns raised about Iran’s stance on inspections.
Iran cannot refuse nuclear inspection – Trump
Trump reached Pennsylvania and visited Mack Trucks’ facility in Lehigh County. After this, while talking to journalists, he said many big things regarding the peace deal. Responding to questions about the deployment of UN nuclear monitoring inspectors under the deal, Trump stressed that Iran has already agreed in principle.
Trump threatens to cancel meeting with Iran
Trump further said, “They are wrong. They know they are wrong. They told us internally and we have 100 percent solid information to verify. If they are right, I will cancel further meetings right now.” When asked about the time frame of the inspection, he said, at the right time. There is no rush, but they will be there at the right time.
Record oil released from Hormuz amid tension
Trump also mentioned recent positive developments regarding energy supplies from the Strait of Hormuz. He claimed that after the initial technical talks between the two parties in Switzerland, a major change has been seen in oil transportation. Trump said, “As you may have heard yesterday, 19 million barrels of oil came out and this is the largest figure in the history of the Strait of Hormuz.”
Iran will not have nuclear weapons: Trump
Donald J Trump said, “Yesterday 1.9 million barrels of oil came out of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a very beautiful place. You’ve never seen anything like it. It’s called an oil gush. That’s why I did it, 99% of the time. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon and they’ve agreed to that.”
Let us tell you that earlier Trump had claimed that Iran has agreed to investigate the nuclear program, which was rejected by Tehran as false. After Trump’s warning amid ongoing tension and talks on the nuclear issue between the two countries, it remains to be seen what Iran’s next step will be.
