June 17 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed onto a joint statement from leaders of the G7 backing his "breakthrough" Iran deal and calling for the participation of more international partners and multilateral bodies, including the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
Affirming Iran would never have a nuclear bomb, the leaders said they strongly supported a "robust and comprehensive diplomatic follow-on agreement" from the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding that would deliver peace and security for all in the Middle East.
"We underline the need for the negotiation to this end to address the threats posed by Iran in the region and beyond and ensure that they never obtain a nuclear weapon. We agree that such a negotiation would benefit from the contributions from relevant regional and international partners, including the International Atomic Energy Agency," the statement reads.
