President Trump said Friday evening that oil prices dropped significantly two weeks ago when the US thought it had a deal with Iran, but he now wants to see a 'real deal, not a fake deal.' The statement follows remarks earlier Friday in which Trump said Iran is in a 'bad situation' and not trustworthy but 'at least serious,' as The Zioneer reported. Trump has been publicly alternating between threatening military action and pursuing a diplomatic accord with Tehran since the Islamabad Agreement and subsequent US strikes on Iranian targets, as The Zioneer has documented. The latest comment suggests Trump remains skeptical of the emerging framework while still seeking a final agreement.
