01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump said that the Iranians had agreed to a deal and "gave up on everything," but then "suddenly, after two hours, they attacked a ship with a drone." The remarks were posted on Sunday afternoon. The statement adds a specific timeline to Trump's earlier accusation that Iran broke a deal and attacked a vessel, which The Zioneer reported minutes earlier. The channel sharing the quote also appended skeptical commentary, questioning the credibility of the agreements. The comments come amid an ongoing cycle of U.S.-Iran tensions, with Trump alternating between negotiation and military threats.
