Davos, January 27 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump has once again accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons despite confirmations by the United Nations’ atomic agency that Tehran complies with the 2015 nuclear deal.  Trump made the remarks on Friday in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he declared “America is open for business” despite his railing against “globalism” and free trade in the past. 

The U.S. president also called on world countries to block what he called Iran’s “path to a nuclear weapon.”   Trump, whose country has thousands of nuclear weapons, has often made unfounded accusations that Iran has been seeking to develop nuclear weapons.  Tehran has strongly denied the allegations. 

Trump has repeatedly denounced the landmark nuclear accord.  During his presidential election campaign, he threatened to shred the deal.  Political observers say that the U.S. president has been desperately trying to undo the nuclear agreement with Iran, which restricts his ability to pursue harsher policies against the Islamic Republic. 

Trump's anti-Iran rhetoric comes as the longstanding Western dispute over Tehran's nuclear program was settled after the conclusion of a landmark nuclear agreement in 2015.  UN Security Council Resolution 2231 also endorsed the nuclear deal, which went into effect in January 2016.  The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also confirmed Iran's commitment to the terms of the nuclear agreement, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
