06/17/2026 June 17, 2026 Trump says Iran deal saved world from a "nuclear Holocaust." US President Donald Trump said the agreement with Iran was welcome by world leaders. "Not one leader said: Please sir, keep dropping bombs on them," Trump said at the G7 meeting in France. "Only stupid people say that," he added, while also saying the agreement will prevent Iran from securing nuclear weapons, saying the agreement saved the world from a "nuclear Holocaust." "Technical discussion on the removals of all stockpiles of uranium will begin immediately," Trump said, also mentioning the Gulf states are going to be part of the process.
Regarding the issue of Iran's ballistic missiles, the US leader said Tehran "gotta have some" as other countries have them, too. "Missiles are not the problem," Trump said, explaining they cannot "blow up the whole planet." Lebanon, Trump said, is a "small piece of the puzzle," but a "very noisy one," while also saying the Israeli strikes in the country go too far.
"When two drones are shot into the desert and harm nobody you don't have to shut down buildings. They could do a much better job
for Hezbollah"
