Trump Reiterates Preventing Iran's Nuclear Weapon as Top US Priority Amid Middle East Tensions

Trump Reiterates Preventing Iran's Nuclear Weapon as Top US Priority Amid Middle East TensionsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump reaffirmed that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon remains Washington's top priority amid ongoing Middle East tensions. His statement followed comments by Vice President JD Vance emphasizing both energy price stability and nuclear non-proliferation as key goals. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts with Iran have stalled, with Tehran undecided on resuming talks. Rising crude oil prices reflect concerns over regional supply disruptions, particularly near the Strait of Hormuz.
