Trump Prioritizes Peace Deal Before Sanctions Relief

In a recent interview, U.S. President Donald Trump stated he would not unfreeze Iranian assets or lift sanctions before a peace deal is reached. Trump emphasized that such steps would follow post-agreement, refusing to make Lebanon a short-term deal condition with Tehran.

U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News’ 'Meet the Press,' clarified his stance on Iranian sanctions and asset unfreezing. He emphasized that such measures would only follow a peace agreement with Tehran, underlining the necessity of compliance by Iran.

Trump further stated that if Iran shows good behavior and complies with the agreement terms, discussions could begin regarding potential relief steps. This conditional approach reflects his cautious stance on foreign diplomacy and economic sanctions.

In addition, Trump dismissed the idea of involving Lebanon as a condition in any temporary agreement with Tehran, maintaining a focused agenda on U.S.-Iran relations without regional complications.
