Trump Says US-Brokered Deal Will Ensure Iran 'Never' Gets Nuclear Weapon as Pakistan Announces Swiss Signing

Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that a US-brokered agreement to end the conflict would ensure Iran would "never have a nuclear weapon." The remark came as mediators reported progress toward a formal signing later this week in Switzerland.

Pakistan, which acted as a key intermediary, announced on Sunday that negotiators had reached an accord and that both sides are due to sign the agreement in Switzerland on Friday. Officials say the deal would extend the current ceasefire for 60 days while parties continue negotiations, but the full text has not yet been published.

What Officials Have Said

So far, public details are limited. Government spokespeople described a 60-day ceasefire extension and further talks during that period. Crucial questions remain about verification measures, how any nuclear assurances would be enforced, and the status and locations of Iran's nuclear facilities.

Comments From World Leaders

At the G7 summit in France, Mr. Trump reiterated his position and criticised what he called excessive Israeli military action in Lebanon, saying:

"You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody."

Also at the summit, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain would play its "full part" in efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic shipping lane that carries a significant share of the world’s oil traffic.

What to Watch Next

Observers and analysts will be watching the Friday signing and await publication of the agreement's full text to confirm concrete steps on ceasefire implementation, verification mechanisms, and any provisions related to Iran's nuclear program. Until those details are released, the claims about nuclear guarantees remain assertions by political leaders rather than independently verified commitments.
