WASHINGTON (Kashmir English): US President Donald Trump has dismissed reports that Washington would pay Iran $300 million under the recently reached US-Iran agreement, while insisting that Tehran had agreed never to acquire a nuclear weapon.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!”
Preliminary agreement between Iran and the US
The statement came amid continued debate over the content of the preliminary agreement signed between Iran and the United States to end the conflict and launch negotiations on a broader settlement.
On the other side, US Vice President JD Vance said the US administration believes Israel will ultimately back the deal despite differences with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In an interview with NBC’s Nightly News, the US Vice President said the agreement would strengthen Israel’s security as he expressed confidence that Israeli leaders would support it as implementation moves forward.
