President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran has agreed to never possess nuclear weapons. He also dismissed reports that the U.S. paid Tehran $300 million as 'fake news spread by the Democrats.' This is now his second public statement on the matter within about an hour, with no corroboration from the White House or other official sources.
President Donald Trump posted a new statement on Truth Social at around 03:36 Tuesday morning Jerusalem time, reiterating his claim that Iran has agreed to never possess nuclear weapons. He also denied reports that the U.S. paid Tehran $300 million, calling the claim 'fake news spread by the Democrats.'
As The Zioneer reported at 02:21 Tuesday, Trump earlier made the same assertion in a post that was reported by N12. The new post back-to-back with the earlier one indicates he is doubling down on the message, though no White House readout, official statement, or corroborating source has confirmed the substance of the claim. Prime Minister Netanyahu has not yet publicly responded to either post.
The claim that Iran has agreed to forgo nuclear weapons remains at the level of an unverified statement by Trump himself, with no independent confirmation from Iranian, U.S. government, or Israeli sources. The denial of a $300 million payment also rests solely on the president's post.
