Trump says new Iran deal creates 'wall' against nuclear weapons

President Donald Trump stated that the new Iran deal creates a "wall" against nuclear weapons, contrasting it with the previous agreement. He expressed hope for a positive relationship with Iran's current leadership, describing them as "not radicalised" and eager to "help their country." Trump indicated that Iran's economic prospects would improve with a final deal, provided its leaders "prove themselves first," and reiterated that Iran "can’t have a nuclear weapon."

Trump also commented on regional conflicts, calling the situation in Lebanon a "minor war" and criticizing Israel's attack on Beirut shortly before the Iran agreement. He mentioned having "no choice" but to attack Iran last week and praised Qatar's mediation role and its "bravery" in managing relations with Iran.

Meanwhile, Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Majed al-Ansari, emphasized the need for regional dialogue to reestablish trust and prevent further escalation following the war. He noted that complex issues such as the nuclear program, proxies, and missiles would not be resolved quickly. Qatar confirmed its support for Pakistan's mediation efforts in the US-Iran negotiations, focusing on regional security and the safety of navigation. Qatar also stated that no funds have been allocated for a reported $300 billion reconstruction framework for Iran, a figure President Trump had previously denounced as "fake news."

In other developments, Iran's judiciary announced the execution of two individuals accused of involvement in early 2026 protests. Separately, at least two people were killed in an Israeli air attack in central Gaza.
