A Lebanese journalist asserts that the United States handed Iran the 'keys, deed, and cash' — the substantive assets of the agreement — before securing the Iranian check, and claims this is the deal Donald Trump signed. The claim originates from the journalist's Arabic-language the source. The assertion is unverified and represents the journalist's commentary on the recently signed US-Iran MOU.
A Lebanese journalist, operating the 'Abu Saleh Arab Desk' the source, published a harsh assessment of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding signed Wednesday at Versailles. The journalist claims Washington transferred control and funds to Tehran before ensuring Iranian commitments were met — asserting that 'this is the deal Trump signed'. The post echoes a skeptical, Israel-aligned Arab commentary tone.
The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday that the US and Iran signed the final MoU, with Trump confirming the deal. Multiple Israeli analysts and columnists have criticized the agreement, arguing it provides immediate cash and legitimacy to Iran while offering Israel only deferred promises. This latest commentary adds an Arab-world critical voice to the emerging narrative. There is no independent verification of the journalist's specific claim about the sequence of asset transfer.
