President Donald Trump posted a statement on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon in Jerusalem, declaring that oil prices are falling, Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon, stock markets are soaring, employment is at an all-time high, and prices are dropping — asserting the US is 'strong, safe, and respected as never before.' The post continues Trump's series of public statements defending his Iran policy.
President Donald Trump posted a new statement on Truth Social on Thursday at 17:03 Jerusalem time, framing his Iran policy as a set of clear accomplishments. 'Oil is flowing, Iran will never be able to obtain a nuclear weapon, stock markets are surging, employment is at an all-time high, and prices are dropping. Our country is strong, safe, and respected as never before. You're welcome!' Trump wrote.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday (11:39 Jerusalem), Trump had called critics who say he hasn't been tough enough on Iran 'jealous, bad people, or fools,' pointing to the stock market and falling oil prices. The new post adds no new policy details but reiterates the same set of talking points — a line the president has used repeatedly in recent days as the US-Iran MOU continues to generate debate.
On Wednesday, Trump told the G7 summit that the nuclear agreement with Iran is 'very strong' and provides 99.9% assurance against a nuclear weapon. The full text of the 14-point US-Iran MoU continues to circulate, detailing an end to hostilities, sanctions relief, and a reconstruction fund. Trump's latest post does not address the leaked MoU or specific negotiations, instead offering a broad defense of outcomes in the US economy and Iran's nuclear status.
The statement is Trump's fourth public post on the Iran subject this week. It remains unclear whether the post reflects confidence in a completed deal or continued public positioning ahead of further negotiations.
