In particular, he repeatedly emphasized, "This agreement makes it 99 percent certain that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, and they cannot develop or purchase them." Furthermore, President Trump stated that following the in-person signing of the MOU on the 19th, "technical discussions regarding the removal of all of Iran's stockpiles of enriched materials will begin immediately."
