Trump defends Iran deal, calls critics fools

U.S. President Donald Trump fiercely defended his administration's agreement with Iran, dismissing critics who accused him of making concessions as "fools." The strong remarks came ahead of negotiations scheduled in Switzerland to implement the deal aimed at ending the Middle East war.

These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid.

Following the accord's signing, oil prices experienced a notable decline. The agreement, formally signed by Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, is expected to lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, the implementation process will involve two months of further negotiations.

Trump took to social media to criticize his detractors, stating, "These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid." He highlighted the record-high stock market and falling oil prices as proof of his effective handling of the situation.

now it is time to test the implementation of the agreement.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei confirmed President Pezeshkian's signature, adding, "now it is time to test the implementation of the agreement." Crude oil prices fell over three percent on Thursday, continuing a downward trend that began when news of the deal emerged over the weekend.

shall enter into force with immediate effect and Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who helped mediate the agreement, stated that it "shall enter into force with immediate effect" and that Iran "will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz." The deal is expected to conclude the current conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which had led to significant shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and a surge in energy prices. The next phase involves talks on Iran's nuclear program, which the U.S. has long suspected of harboring secret bomb-making ambitions. French President Emmanuel Macron hailed the deal as one that "allows for peace, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, and 60 days to conclude an agreement on nuclear, ballistic, and regional activities."
