Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency mocks President Trump, noting he has announced a deal 38 times to no avail, and states bluntly that no agreement exists until Supreme Leader Khamenei approves it. The remarks, reported by Israeli journalist Yaki Adamker, reiterate a pattern The Zioneer has covered in prior bulletins this evening.
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency on Tuesday evening publicly mocked President Donald Trump's repeated claims of an imminent nuclear deal, pointing out that he has announced an agreement 38 times since March — none of which have materialized. The agency's statement, relayed by Israeli journalist Yaki Adamker, emphasized that "there is no deal until Khamenei approves it," framing Trump's assertions as no more credible than his prior false announcements.
The report, published at 20:58 Jerusalem, follows a series of similar Iranian dismissals tonight. At 20:45, The Zioneer reported that an analyst cited by an Arabic-language desk had flagged Trump's pattern of dozens of premature deal announcements. Two minutes later, at 20:47, a bulletin covered Iranian officials directly mocking the president's latest claim. A CNN analysis, published June 9, had already counted 38 such Trump statements since March with no signed accord.
The Tasnim jab adds an official Iranian media layer to the pushback, reinforcing that the threshold for a deal remains Khamenei's personal approval — a condition Trump's optimistic public timeline has not satisfied. The statement does not indicate a change in Iran's negotiating posture, but rather a consistent message from Tehran that public announcements by the U.S. president carry no weight without the supreme leader's sign-off. No independent confirmation of a changed status in talks has emerged.
