King Charles 'agrees that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon', Donald Trump declares

Mr Trump said during his speech: "We're doing a little Middle East work right now.

"Some of you might know, and we're doing very well.

"We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we're never going to let that opponent ever... Charles agrees with me even more than I do.

"We're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.

"They know that. And they've known it right now very powerfully."

As sovereign, the King must avoid expressing partisan views to maintain national unity.

While not legally forbidden, expressing political opinions risks public backlash and violates the constitutional convention that the monarch must not interfere in Government policy.

The bombshell claim came after Mr Trump raged at a new proposal from Tehran to end the war, which he started to stop it from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

The President said the Iranians had admitted their country had fallen into a "state of collapse" and was figuring out its leadership situation.

He blasted on Truth Social: "Iran has just informed us that they are in a 'State of Collapse'.

"They want us to 'Open the Hormuz Strait,' as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!)."

Iran's most recent offer for resolving the two-month war would shelve any discussion of its nuclear programme until the conflict was over and the chaos in the Strait of Hormuz was brought to an end.

However, US officials have warned that Mr Trump wants the nuclear issue wrapped up as his first priority.

An Iranian military spokesman told state media the Islamic Republic did not consider the war over.

During his speech, the US President alleged that King Charles "agrees" with his stance in the Middle East.
