President Donald Trump posted Tuesday afternoon that the proposed Iran agreement states Tehran will not possess nuclear weapons, then added a derisive follow-up: "Oh, if it's written they'll surely keep their word. Let's give them $300 billion in cash." The post, appearing on his social media platform Truth Social, was sent at 15:40 Jerusalem time. It follows a day of multiple statements from Trump on the emerging deal, including a denial that the U.S. will pay Iran any sum and a claim that the deal is complete and regime change has occurred. The post does not clarify whether Trump is endorsing the deal or expressing skepticism.
President Trump posted on Truth Social at 15:40 Jerusalem time Tuesday: "It's written there — Iran will not have nuclear weapons." The post then continues in a sardonic register: "Oh, if it's written they'll surely keep their word. Let's give them $300 billion in cash."
The posting arrives in the midst of a flurry of statements from the president today on the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement. At 15:07 Jerusalem time, as The Zioneer reported, Trump said the deal was complete, regime change had occurred, and that the U.S. is investing no money in Iran. Earlier, at 06:02, Trump had posted that he would not give Iran $300 billion for reconstruction — a figure no U.S. official had formally proposed; rather, a Gulf-state-backed investment fund had been reported by the Financial Times as part of final deal terms.
The new post explicitly references the $300 billion figure and pairs it with a mockery of the nuclear pledge, seemingly contradicting his own earlier claim that the deal is solid. The White House has not issued a clarifying statement. It remains unclear whether Trump intends the post as a critique of draft terms circulating in media reports or as part of his negotiating posture. No on-record statement from Iranian officials has been issued in response.
