Trump Speaks with Putin – Both Appear to Be on Same Page Regarding Iran Getting Nukes
In a recent communication, President Donald Trump discussed nuclear proliferation concerns with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Both leaders seem to agree on teh importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump noted that their phone call lasted 75 minutes, during which he emphasized the urgency of Iran’s decision regarding its nuclear ambitions.Putin expressed willingness to assist in negotiations with Iran to reach a swift resolution.
Trump has also been vocal about his stance on Iran, suggesting the country has been slow to respond to nuclear discussions.His administration is reportedly working on a nuclear agreement that would restrict Iran’s uranium enrichment to a non-weapons-grade level. However, Trump clarified that under any potential deal, no uranium enrichment would be allowed at all. Additionally, Iran’s parliament recently approved a 20-year strategic partnership agreement with Russia, highlighting their deepening ties amid current geopolitical tensions. This partnership raises concerns, especially for neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia, which has warned iran against prolonging negotiations.
President Donald Trump said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin Wednesday, and the two appear to agree that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.
Trump wrote in a post that the call lasted 75 minutes, and he told Putin that “time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons.” The president is seeking a nuclear weapons agreement with Tehran.
“I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion,” the president wrote.
His word choice of “I believe” indicated at least some level of uncertainty about where Putin stands.

Russia and Tehran have worked more closely together since the war in Ukraine began in 2022.
In April, Russia’s lower-house State Duma ratified a 20-year strategic partnership agreement with Iran, which had been signed by Putin and his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, on Jan. 17, Reuters reported.

Iran’s parliament approved it in May. “The agreement represents a deepening of bilateral ties including closer defence cooperation,” according to the outlet.
Trump also asserted in his post, “It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!”
On Monday, Trump contradicted earlier reports that his administration would allow Iran to enrich uranium at a non-weapons-grade level under a potential deal.
Axios reported that the U.S. offered Tehran a nuclear deal on Saturday that would require it to temporarily reduce its enrichment concentration to 3 percent, a level well below the weapons-grade 90 percent.
Additionally, the regime would have to make its underground nuclear facilities “non-operational” for a period of time, which is yet to be decided.
However, Trump posted on on Monday evening, “The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from ‘enriching.’ Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!”

To do so would risk a military strike from Israel against its nuclear facilities, Prince Khalid reportedly conveyed.
