Trump Denies Media Reports Alleging a $30 Billion Offer to Iran, Calling It 'Garbage Lies'. The rumors surfaced after attacks on Iran. Trump stated, 'This is a setup.'
Trump - Iran: Recent media reports claimed that former US President Donald Trump offered Iran $30 billion in financial aid. This assistance was allegedly proposed for Iran's civilian nuclear program. The reports stated that the funds would be used for the development of Iran's non-military nuclear facilities. The reports created a stir in US politics and quickly went viral on social media.
Trump's Denial - 'Sick Propaganda of the Fake News Media'
In response to the news, Donald Trump reacted on his social media platform, Truth Social. He wrote, "Who is the lowlife in the Fake News Media who is saying that Trump wants to give Iran $30 Billion Dollars?" Trump called it absurd and false news. He made it clear that he had neither seen nor supported any such proposal. Trump added that this was another lie spread to damage his image.
What the Report Claimed
According to media reports, the Trump administration was planning a new deal after recent US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. The report also stated that the US was going to offer economic assistance, easing sanctions, and releasing international funds to resume talks with Iran. Under this, $30 billion in aid could be given to Iran to advance its civilian nuclear program. However, there has been no official confirmation of this entire claim, and Trump has dismissed it entirely.
Recent US Attacks on Iran
This controversy comes at a time when tensions between the US and Iran are at their peak. The US recently launched military strikes on Iran's three major nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Trump claimed that these attacks had caused heavy damage to Iran's nuclear program. However, international experts say that the sites were damaged, but they were not completely destroyed.
Iran's Stance - Right to Enrichment and Peaceful Intentions
Iran has repeatedly clarified that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and that it has the right to enrichment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran does not accept the US demand that it completely halt its uranium enrichment. In such a situation, it is unlikely that Iran will be easily ready to deal with any conditions.
