  • Donald Trump declared the agreement with Iran a victory for the United States, dismissing criticism from within his own party.
  • Trump stated that the U.S. would not pay Iran $300 billion, calling such claims "fake news" and attributing them to "Democrat propaganda."
  • He predicted success for the U.S., including lower oil prices and overall victory, pointing to the stock market's performance as evidence.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted on Thursday that the agreement reached with Iran to end the war constitutes a victory for the United States. He vehemently rejected growing criticism, including that from some members of his own Republican party, regarding the deal.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump declared, "The US will not pay Iran $300 billion. That's fake news! The US is only waiting for success, lower oil prices, and victory. Check the stock market. Democrat propaganda is working!!!"

Trump's statement directly refutes claims that the U.S. would be required to pay Iran a substantial sum. He framed the situation as one where the United States stands to benefit significantly, anticipating positive outcomes such as reduced oil prices and an overall win in the geopolitical context. He cited the performance of the stock market as evidence supporting his optimistic outlook.

The US will not pay Iran $300 billion. That's fake news! The US is only waiting for success, lower oil prices, and victory. Check the stock market. Democrat propaganda is working!!!
