Former US President Donald Trump has reiterated his opposition to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, stating in a brief post on his Truth Social account on Saturday: "Iran can never have a nuclear weapon."
Trump's statement comes as Tehran continues to assert its official position on its nuclear program. Iranian parliament member Masoud Pezeshkian told CBS in an interview that his country is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
Pezeshkian added that possessing nuclear weapons is "religiously forbidden" in Iran, noting that even if some Iranians wanted to pursue such weapons, they are not permitted to do so from a religious standpoint.
