CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: US President Donald Trump has made a major claim regarding Iran’s nuclear programme. Trump said Iran currently does not have nuclear weapons. He also indicated that if Iran had nuclear weapons, the present situation could have been far more serious.
Trump’s statement came at a time when tensions between the United States and Iran have risen again. Recently, the US carried out attacks on Iran’s Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, after which Iran fired missiles targeting US military bases in Jordan. The direct military confrontation between the two countries has heightened tensions in West Asia.
The United States has long expressed concern over Iran’s nuclear programme. The Trump administration says preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is among its key priorities. In June, Trump had also said Iran would not acquire nuclear weapons and that efforts were continuing to reach an agreement between the two countries on the issue.
However, the situation regarding Iran’s nuclear capability is not entirely clear. Issues linked to international inspections and monitoring of Iran’s nuclear programme remain matters of dispute. US and international assessments have continued to raise varying concerns about Iran’s nuclear capability and its future programme.
Trump’s latest statement makes it clear that Iran’s nuclear programme remains at the centre of US-Iran tensions. Meanwhile, rising military tension in the Strait of Hormuz could also affect global oil supplies and energy markets.
