JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump reiterated the US government's decades-long policy of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, while stating that he had not heard a firm commitment from Iran regarding this matter.
"For decades, the policy of the United States has been never to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons," Trump said, quoted by Sputnik, Wednesday, February 25.
He said he preferred a diplomatic solution, but had not heard a statement from Iran that the country would never have nuclear weapons.
"They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those words: 'We will never have nuclear weapons'," he said.
Trump insisted he would not allow Iran, which he called the "world's leading sponsor of terror," to have nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Tuesday said his party was ready to take the necessary steps to reach an agreement with the US on the nuclear issue.
"We are ready to reach an agreement as soon as possible and do whatever it takes to make it happen," he said in an interview with NPR.
