Speaking during a call with supporters, Trump said an earlier draft of the agreement addressed the development of nuclear weapons but did not explicitly prohibit their purchase. “They had a clause they won’t develop. I said, ‘What about purchasing?’” Trump said. “Two days later, they agreed to that. We got everything we wanted.” Iran has not publicly confirmed the details of any proposed agreement.
