Trump Expresses Doubts Over Iran Nuclear Deal as Gabbard Warns of Nuclear Catastrophe
by Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy News) – President Donald Trump voiced deepening skepticism this week over the likelihood of securing a revised nuclear agreement with Iran, even as his administration pushes ahead with diplomatic talks aimed at halting Tehran’s uranium enrichment program.
In a candid interview on Miranda Devine’s new podcast Pod Force One, Trump said Iran appears to be stalling in negotiations and warned that the regime’s reluctance casts serious doubt on the possibility of reaching a peaceful resolution.
“I don’t know,” Trump said when asked if a deal was still possible. “I did think so, and I’m getting more and more — less confident about it. They seem to be delaying… but I am much less confident of a deal being made.”
The president made clear that while he prefers diplomacy over military conflict — “it would be nicer to do it without warfare, without people dying” — he remains adamant that Iran will not be permitted to acquire a nuclear weapon “with or without a deal.”
Trump’s comments come as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a sobering public warning about the escalating risks of nuclear war. In a video statement posted Tuesday following her visit to Hiroshima, Gabbard cautioned that the world is “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before.”
“This is the reality of what’s at stake,” she said. “Political elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers… Perhaps it’s because they’re confident they’ll have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and their families that regular people won’t.”
Gabbard’s message, delivered against the backdrop of Hiroshima’s devastation, criticized what she described as reckless leadership across multiple global flashpoints. “It’s up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness,” she said.
The grim remarks by Gabbard and the wavering tone of the president come at a pivotal time for U.S. foreign policy. In addition to the nuclear standoff with Iran, the Trump administration is also juggling complex cease-fire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, as well as efforts to stabilize the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Despite his uncertainty about Iran’s intentions, Trump reiterated his bottom line: “They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon.”
I recently visited Hiroshima, and stood at the epicenter of a city scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945. What I saw, the stories I heard, and the haunting sadness that remains, will stay with me forever. pic.twitter.com/TmxmxiGwnV
