Trump Continues to Stress 'Iran Cannot Have a Nuclear Weapon' Despite Unclear Path to End War

Trump said Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon as talks remain stalled and the 60-day agreement expired with no extension, officials said.

  • On Monday, the 60-day deadline to end the Iran War expired without a permanent resolution. President Donald Trump dismissed the deadline as irrelevant in the Oval Office, stating there is no timetable to stop the conflict.
  • Addressing the status of the Iran nuclear program, Trump emphasized his requirements for a deal, stating, "Well, they want to make a deal, but they're not gonna make the kind of deal I feel is necessary."
  • Costs for the Iran War hit $37.5 billion, a 37% increase since Feb. 28. AAA reports the average price for a gallon of gas is about $4.07, a concern House Speaker Mike Johnson tied to midterm elections.
  • Tensions rose after Iran announced an agreement with Oman regarding ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump told Fox News the U.S. would bomb Oman if it interferes with the plan.
  • Negotiations remain stalled as the conflict nears its sixth month. With no sign that the memorandum of understanding will be extended, the future of the Iran War remains uncertain.
