On Tuesday, the White House released a compilation of 15 separate statements made by President Donald Trump that reaffirm his unwavering policy regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The administration emphasized that Trump has consistently maintained that Tehran must never be permitted to develop or obtain nuclear weapons.

“President Donald J. Trump has never wavered in his stance that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon — a pledge he has made repeatedly, both in office and on the campaign trail,” read the official statement from the White House.
The administration then provided a chronological list of quotes made by the president since February 2025, which they say illustrates his unchanging position on the matter.
