  • Donald Trump denies the U.S. is desperate for a deal with Iran, stating Tehran is the one in a desperate state.
  • He asserts Iran is "finished" and will receive "not a dime" from the U.S. for reconstruction.
  • Trump also criticizes Democrats for claiming Iran benefited from a recent deal, arguing the war has devastated Iran's military capabilities.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has strongly refuted claims that the United States is seeking a deal with Iran out of desperation. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump asserted that it is Tehran that is desperate and "finished."

Trump stated that Washington will wait for the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding to conclude before deciding on next steps. He emphatically rejected any discussion of a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, declaring, "They will not get a dime from the U.S.!"

We did not agree out of desperation. Iran did. They are FINISHED! We will wait the 60 days. They will not get a dime, not ten cents!

"We did not agree out of desperation. Iran did. They are FINISHED! We will wait the 60 days. They will not get a dime, not ten cents!" Trump wrote. He also accused Democrats of being "so stupid" for suggesting that Iran emerged from a recent conflict in a better position than before.

Trump argued that the war has crippled Iran's military. "War has exhausted Iran! It no longer has an Air Force, Navy, anti-aircraft systems, radar – almost nothing," he claimed. He questioned how anyone could believe Iran was in a better state now compared to four months prior.

War has exhausted Iran! It no longer has an Air Force, Navy, anti-aircraft systems, radar – almost nothing. And yet, the ‘Dumocrats’ say Iran is in a better position today than four months ago. Can you imagine? How stupid can some people be?
