Donald Trump says stopping Iran nuclear program outweighs American economic pain

President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is his sole priority in negotiations, dismissing concerns that Americans' economic struggles should factor into his decision-making. Trump's remarks come as the Iran conflict has contributed to rising gasoline prices and inflation, drawing criticism from Republicans concerned about electoral backlash, while US intelligence assessments indicate Iran's nuclear timeline remains unchanged at nine months to a year since last summer.
