Trump Says New Iran Nuclear Deal Will Surpass 2015 Agreement Amid Ongoing Talks

US President Donald Trump asserted that the new nuclear deal being negotiated with Iran will be far better than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which he criticized as flawed and a security risk. Trump denied being under pressure to finalize the deal quickly, emphasizing that it will be done right. Talks are ongoing, with a US delegation heading to Pakistan amid uncertainty over Iran's participation and potential military consequences if negotiations fail. Trump also highlighted past payments to Iran under previous administrations and promised stronger safeguards in the new agreement.
