Iranian president supports nuclear and WMD-free zone if it includes Zionist entity.

Iran's nuclear program has been a subject of international concern, particularly due to its recent advancements and the political climate surrounding it. On June 19, 2025, the Iranian president has expressed support for a nuclear and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) free zone, but only if it includes the Zionist entity, Israel [1]. This stance comes amidst ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, as well as the broader regional context of the Middle East.

In recent weeks, the situation has been marked by a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, brokered by the United States under President Donald Trump. This fragile peace has been praised by various world leaders, including the NATO secretary-general Mark Rutte, who commended Trump's decisive action [2]. However, the ceasefire has not been without its challenges. Amnesty International has raised concerns over "arbitrary executions" in Iran, with at least six men executed over accusations of collaboration with Israel since hostilities began [3].

The ceasefire also comes with the backdrop of a leaked intelligence assessment that casts doubt over the success of the US strikes on Iran's nuclear program. The preliminary report suggests that the US attack only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months, contrary to claims made by President Trump and other senior officials that the sites were "obliterated" [4]. This assessment has been criticized by Trump, who has lashed out at US media outlets for reporting the leak [5].

Despite these challenges, there is hope for a long-term peace agreement. US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, has described talks between the US and Iran as "promising" and expressed confidence in achieving a comprehensive peace agreement [6]. However, the road to peace remains uncertain, with both sides facing significant political and security challenges.

In conclusion, Iran's nuclear ambitions and the regional stability of the Middle East remain complex and multifaceted issues. The recent ceasefire and ongoing talks provide a glimmer of hope, but much remains to be seen in terms of Iran's nuclear program and its impact on regional security.
