Washington, DC (US), April 21, 2026, BNN Web Staff:The White House has defended President Donald Trump\u2019s approach to Iran, claiming that a new nuclear agreement with Tehran is \u201cvery close\u201d and would mark a significant diplomatic breakthrough.<\/p>\n
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking to Fox News, said the current negotiations represent the strongest progress toward a deal in years, crediting Trump\u2019s leadership and rejecting comparisons with the 2015 nuclear agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe United States has never been closer to a good deal with Iran, unlike the horrible deal made by the Obama Administration, thanks to President Donald Trump\u2019s negotiating ability,\u201d Leavitt said.<\/p>\n
She also dismissed criticism of the administration\u2019s aggressive diplomatic posture, arguing that the strategy is deliberate and aimed at long-term stability.<\/p>\n
Defending the President\u2019s approach, she suggested critics were failing to understand the broader strategy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who cannot see President Trump\u2019s tactics to play the long game is either stupid or willfully ignorant,\u201d she said during the interview.<\/p>\n
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the emerging agreement would significantly outperform the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which he has long criticised as weak and ineffective.<\/p>\n
He has argued that the earlier deal enabled nuclear escalation risks, while insisting his administration\u2019s version will permanently block Iran from developing nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n
In recent statements, Trump has also renewed criticism of former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, accusing them of enabling what he called a flawed and dangerous framework.<\/p>\n
He has further claimed that the previous agreement involved large financial transfers to Iran and weakened US strategic leverage in the region.<\/p>\n
Trump has maintained that his withdrawal from the JCPOA prevented further security risks and said any new deal under his leadership would guarantee stability across the Middle East and beyond.<\/p>\n
Despite sharp political debate over the negotiations, the White House continues to project confidence that a final agreement is within reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
