Trump: Iran's Assets Will Not Be Released Before Agreement Finalization

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in an interview with NBC News that as part of any agreement, Iran's frozen assets will not be released from the outset, and no sanctions will be lifted in advance.

He added that he does not insist on including Lebanon in the short-term agreement between Washington and Tehran.

In response to the question of whether these actions will take place after the agreement, he said: "Yes, after that. If they behave properly and fulfill their commitments, then we will start the dialogue."

The U.S. President further mentioned that if he can reach an agreement with Tehran to end the three-month war between the two countries, the U.S. will cooperate with Iran to collect and destroy its high-enriched uranium stockpiles.

He added that if an agreement is not reached, Washington will further weaken the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic so that American forces can safely collect these materials themselves.

Trump expressed his desire to add a new clause to the agreement so that Iran cannot circumvent the agreement's restrictions by purchasing nuclear weapons or related equipment.

He said: "I asked what if they don't produce nuclear weapons themselves but acquire them in some way? I want the agreement to include the terms of buying, obtaining, or acquiring weapons. They have no right to produce nuclear weapons, nor to buy or acquire them. Tehran initially opposed this request a bit but eventually backed down."

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, commented on Mojtaba Khamenei and his whereabouts, saying: "He is severely injured. I don't want to say whether I know where he is or not, but there is a high likelihood that I am aware of Mojtaba Khamenei's location."

Trump also announced that he currently has no intention of withdrawing American forces from the region, even with the fragile ceasefire and his assessment that the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Islamic Republic have been severely damaged.

He added: "The cost of keeping about 50,000 American troops in the region is very minimal, and we may need them to exert pressure in negotiations."
