Trump Reiterates: Iran Must Never Have Nuclear Weapons in Any Form
U.S. President Trump stated on Truth Social that the top priority has been, is, and will always be: Iran must never have nuclear weapons in any form or through any means.
This statement comes after the expiration of a 60-day memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, during which both sides failed to reach a final agreement.
Trump has repeatedly emphasized this position, making it a core aspect of U.S. policy towards Iran.
Currently, the U.S. is preparing further economic isolation measures and maintaining port blockades to apply pressure.
Iran's nuclear program remains a key focus of negotiations and conflicts between the two sides.
In market mechanisms, event-driven pricing reflects Middle Eastern geopolitical risks: the reaffirmation of nuclear red lines strengthens expectations of sanctions and blockades, putting pressure on energy market volatility and benefiting safe-haven assets.
Additionally, Trump has previously reiterated similar statements in public, emphasizing that "Iran must never have nuclear weapons."

Trump has long prioritized preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons as the primary focus of U.S. policy towards Iran, maintaining this red line from the maximum pressure of his first term to the current dual-track military and economic approach, which has been continuously reinforced after conflicts.
In terms of capital strategy, resources are continuously allocated to sanctions, blockades, and potential military options, motivated by the desire to eliminate nuclear proliferation risks and maintain regional dominance while avoiding the political costs of direct full-scale war.
Similar cases can be seen in the long-term containment strategies for North Korea's and Iran's nuclear programs, as well as the policy oscillations before and after the 2015 agreement; currently, the focus is on transitioning from military actions to economic attrition and reaffirmation of red lines.
Structural judgment indicates regulatory changes: by publicly reaffirming uncompromising goals, diplomatic maneuvering space is compressed, with the mechanism placing nuclear issues above all other topics, forcing the other side to concede under economic pressure.
