President Trump Convenes Meeting on Iran, Reaffirms Stance Against Nuclear Proliferation

President Trump convened a meeting in the White House Situation Room on the 29th to discuss the Iran issue. The meeting lasted about two hours, and the President reaffirmed the stance that 'Iran must never possess nuclear weapons.' Although there were reports of a preliminary US-Iran agreement, White House officials declined to confirm any new deal. The US is demanding that Iran surrender its highly enriched uranium, abandon nuclear development, and ensure free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Since the outbreak of hostilities on February 28, Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, and a fragile temporary ceasefire has been in place since April 8. The situation in the strait, a key artery for global energy supply, remains a matter of international concern.
