Trump Hints at Possible Iran Deal “Next Week” After Claiming He “Destroyed” Their Nuclear Program

According to Saed News, Donald Trump stated on Thursday that he may sign a new agreement with Iran as soon as next week. Speaking at a campaign event, Trump claimed, “We destroyed Iran’s nuclear program,” and hinted at upcoming talks with Iranian representatives.

“We’ll be meeting with the Iranians next week—maybe we’ll even sign a deal,” Trump declared, without providing specifics on the format, agenda, or participants in such negotiations. The comments mark a surprising shift in tone from the hardline posture that defined his presidency, during which he unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), escalating tensions and prompting Tehran to resume uranium enrichment.

Trump’s remarks come amid renewed speculation about backchannel diplomacy between Washington and Tehran, though the Biden administration has not confirmed any formal contact. Analysts remain skeptical. “Trump has a history of making bold, unverified claims on the campaign trail,” said Dr. Leila Mahmoudi, a Middle East policy expert based in London. “There’s no evidence of imminent diplomatic engagement.”

The Iranian government has not responded officially to Trump’s comments, and it remains unclear whether any Iranian officials are open to direct talks under the current geopolitical climate. Still, the prospect of a sudden pivot toward diplomacy has sparked global curiosity—and caution.

As the 2024 election cycle heats up, Trump’s remarks appear aimed as much at international audiences as at his domestic base, positioning him once again as a dealmaker on the world stage.
