President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the terms Iran leaked to 'fake news media' bear no relation to the written agreement, and called last night's drone attack on Indian vessels 'completely unacceptable.' He warned Iran to 'get a grip, fast,' accusing Tehran of bad-faith behavior. The remarks escalate rhetoric as The Zioneer previously reported on White House statements contradicting the Iranian version of the talks.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday sharply escalated his public pressure campaign against Iran, posting a lengthy statement on Truth Social that dismissed Tehran's account of ongoing nuclear talks as a fabrication and condemned a drone attack on Indian shipping as 'completely unacceptable.'
'Conditions that Iran leaked to fake news are not at all related to conditions agreed in writing. What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement that an agreement was reached, does not resemble the truth at all,' Trump wrote. He accused the Iranian leadership of being 'very disrespectful people with whom it's impossible to negotiate,' adding that 'with them, there is no such thing as acting in good faith.'
Trump also referenced 'last night's drone attack against Indian ships that left the Strait of Hormuz, which was completely repelled,' calling it 'completely unacceptable' and warning Iran to 'get a grip, and fast!' The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic waterway where a reported drone incident involving vessels of Indian origin occurred amid heightened Gulf tensions.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today (16:44 and 16:52 Jerusalem), the White House had already released a statement contradicting the Iranian version of the deal: U.S. officials insisted that Iran's nuclear materials will be destroyed, its program dismantled, and no sanctions relief will occur until all commitments are fulfilled. Trump's latest post reinforces that stance and adds a personal warning against further military provocations. It remains unclear whether diplomatic back-channels remain open or whether the U.S. is preparing additional kinetic responses.
