PresidentDonald Trumpis denouncing details leaked by Iranian state media as âFake News.â
âThe terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing. What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING! Also, their totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships leaving the Hormuz Strait is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. They better get their act together, and FAST!â Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning.
Iranâs Mehr news agency published alleged details of the deal Trump announced Thursday, calling it a âgreat settlement.â
Trump added he understood Iranâs Supreme Leader had signed off on the deal and it could be finalized over the weekend.
Mehr reported the U.S. would pay Iran $300 billion for reconstruction, a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from the region, the Strait of Hormuz remaining under Iranian control, and a guarantee that the U.S. would not militarily engage with Iranâs terror proxies.
Trump allies denounced the deal on social media.
âThis is a total capitulation by the greatest superpower to ever exist to a terror state whose economy and navy no longer exist. If this is indeed the deal, the President absolutely cannot sign it,â pro-MAGA pundit Batya Ungar-Sargon wrote.
Conservative radio star Erick Erickson went after Trump over the now 39 times the president has claimed a deal is near, but nothing came to fruition.
âThe President, the other day, said Iran was playing us. The only one being played is President Trump. A state of war exists between Iran and its neighbors. The ceasefire is a farce. The President has turned into a clown,â Erickson wrote.
