Washington: President Donald Trump has declared that a new nuclear agreement currently being negotiated between the United States and Iran will exceed the terms of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). In a social media post on Monday, Trump expressed confidence that the prospective deal would surpass the international agreement aimed at limiting Tehran's nuclear activities. Despite concerns from Democrats and nuclear experts regarding the pace of the negotiations, Trump emphasized that the deal would be superior.

According to TRTworld.com, Trump had previously withdrawn from the JCPOA in 2018 during his first term as President, labeling it "the worst deal ever." He assured that there is no pressure on the negotiation timeline, although he suggested the process would conclude quickly. His comments come amid an ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which began over seven weeks ago with the stated aim of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has highlighted the United States' continued ceasefire violations as a significant barrier to further diplomatic efforts. In a conversation with Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Araghchi expressed Iran's concerns about the truce breaches, which complicate the prospect of a second round of talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan. The impending expiration of a two-week ceasefire adds further uncertainty to the diplomatic situation.

The specifics of the potential new agreement between the US and Iran remain unclear, especially given the complexity of the issues at hand. The 2015 JCPOA involved multiple countries, including France, Germany, China, Britain, and Russia, and required extensive negotiations over two years with the input of around 200 specialists in various fields such as nuclear physics, sanctions, finance, and law.
