An Iranian news agency reports that President Trump has announced a deal at least 38 times, but no agreement exists until Supreme Leader Khamenei approves it. The report reiterates a recurring pattern, as The Zioneer has previously covered.
An Iranian news agency reported this evening that President Trump has announced a deal with Iran at least 38 times — without one being finalized. The agency's statement, circulated via the source, underscores that no agreement is valid until Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei personally approves it. This framing reinforces a well-documented pattern: The Zioneer's own archive records similar Trump assertions dating back to March, most recently at 20:45 Jerusalem tonight, when Trump claimed a deal is close. While earlier reports this evening, including one from an Israeli journalist relayed via The Zioneer's intelligence desk, suggested a deal had been reached, this new Iranian source makes clear that Khamenei's sign-off is a prerequisite. The report does not contain a direct quote from Khamenei or his office, and no timeline for an approval was mentioned. The situation remains fluid: Neither the White House nor the Iranian Foreign Ministry has issued a formal statement about a signed accord. The Zioneer will update as further verification emerges.
