An unnamed source in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told Noor News on Sunday that President Trump 'folded again' in the nuclear talks, claiming no progress was made. The source asserted the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and accused Trump of taking hallucinatory drugs to feel a sense of victory over Iran.
The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday at 07:30 that unnamed Iranian sources had claimed Trump 'folded again' and that no progress was made in nuclear negotiations. The new statement from an IRGC source to Noor News reinforces that narrative, adding the claim that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and that Trump is using hallucinatory drugs to feel a sense of victory. Earlier, at 05:58, Channel 14 analyst Noam Amir argued that Trump had folded under pressure from rising oil prices, characterizing the shift as a return to the situation of two months ago.
In related background, The Zioneer has previously reported on IRGC grievances over the Strait of Hormuz, including accusations of U.S. 'deception' and denials of any hotline with Washington. The source's claim that the strait is closed contradicts White House optimism about progress in talks and the U.S. contention that a deal is within reach. The drug-use accusation adds a new level of personal attack on the American president, marking an escalation in rhetorical tone from Tehran.
