On May 29th, according to Iranian media Fars News, sources refuted Trump's latest claims about a possible agreement with Iran, stating that his remarks were "half true, half false" and aimed at fabricating a false victory. Almost everyone now sees that Trump's claims are completely unfounded. According to reports, the agreement text, drafted as a "reciprocal commitment," is currently in the final stages of Iran's domestic ratification process and no final decision has been made. In stark contrast, Trump has raised issues that contradict the terms of the agreement text. At the same time, he claims he will immediately lift the blockade. Trump's distortions of the core content of the agreement include: 1. Trump claims that Iran is obligated to open the Strait of Hormuz without receiving any fees; however, such a clause does not exist in the agreement text. 2. Trump claims that Iran will dismantle or destroy its nuclear materials. Sources emphasize that not only is there no such content in the memorandum of understanding, but Trump's claim is also utter nonsense. Key terms of the agreement that Trump deliberately avoided mentioning: 1. A crucial point that Trump didn't mention at all: the precondition for immediately unfreezing and paying Iran $12 billion in frozen assets. 2. A ceasefire in Lebanon. 3. Iranian officials also emphasized that the final agreement will be based on the principles and "red lines" of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
