President Trump said the Iranian leadership agrees to terms of a nuclear deal but then denies the discussions, calling them 'liars' and 'crazy.' The remarks, reported by Israeli media, add to a series of sharp comments from Trump on Iran today.
President Trump's latest remarks on Iran, reported this morning, focus on the Iranian leadership's alleged duplicity in nuclear negotiations. According to the reports, Trump said the leadership agrees to terms—no nuclear weapons—and then publicly denies the discussions. He called them 'liars' and 'crazy' (מטורללים).
The comments come amid a flurry of Trump statements on Iran today. At 11:21, The Zioneer reported Trump declaring the memoranda of understanding with Iran 'over' and calling Tehran 'liars.' At 11:22, he described the Iranian leadership as 'worthless, bad, violent' and threatened to use a nuclear weapon. At 11:25, another bulletin reported Trump saying he does not want a deal with Iran and calling them 'sick people.'
These rapid-fire pronouncements appear to be part of an unscripted sequence, possibly reflecting Trump's frustration with the Iranian negotiating approach. Earlier this week, Trump had indicated a willingness to negotiate, but the tone has shifted sharply in the last hour.
It remains unclear whether these statements amount to a coordinated shift in US policy or a series of off-the-cuff remarks. No official White House clarification has been issued, and the status of the nuclear deal negotiations remains uncertain.
