Trump: Iran to get 'not ten cents' during 60-day negotiation period

Following the signing of a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Tehran would receive "not ten cents" in financial relief during the stipulated 60-day negotiation period. Trump asserted on his Truth Social platform that Iran initiated the engagement out of necessity, stating, "They are FINISHED! We'll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!"

“

We didn't meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED! We'll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!

Trump further claimed that the conflict has significantly weakened Iran, asserting it no longer possesses a functional Air Force, Navy, radar systems, or anti-aircraft equipment. This statement directly countered criticisms from the Democratic Party, which he accused of suggesting Iran was in a stronger position than four months prior. He characterized such perspectives as "stupid."

“

The War has diminished Iran! It doesn't, any longer, have an Air Force, a Navy, Antiaircraft Equipment, Radar, or practically anything else, and yet the Dumocrats say that Iran is better off now than it was four months ago. Can you imagine getting away with that??? How stupid can some people be???

These remarks come as planned talks between the United States and Iran, set to take place in Switzerland, have been postponed. Switzerland's Foreign Ministry confirmed the delay, stating it remains ready to facilitate the negotiations. The ministry indicated that preparatory work continues but provided no further details.

The planned talks between the US, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan have been postponed. Switzerland remains ready to facilitate these talks. The relevant preparatory work at Burgenstock is continuing. No further information can be provided at present.

A White House spokesperson explained that U.S. Vice President JD Vance would not depart for Switzerland as the plans for the technical talks were not finalized. The delegation is prepared to leave once logistics are settled. The 14-point MoU includes an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations and a pledge to conclude final deal negotiations within 60 days, with the U.S. beginning to remove its naval blockade under the agreement.

As the Vice President said at his press conference, the plans for the upcoming technical talks have not been finalised, and the US delegation has been prepared to depart at the first available opportunity. But the logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable.
