Trump Denies Claims of US Payment to Iran in Peace Deal

President Donald Trump denied claims that the United States would pay Iran as part of a peace deal. The specifics of the agreement have not been publicly disclosed, but there are reports of a $300 billion reconstruction fund that could be financed by the U.S. or its allies. Trump addressed the speculation in a post on Truth Social, stating, "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!" Vice President JD Vance also commented on the fund, suggesting it could be funded by Gulf states if Iran meets its obligations. He noted that hard-liners in Iran may exaggerate the benefits they receive while downplaying their concessions. The potential for financial compensation to Iran has drawn comparisons to previous criticisms of the Obama administration's deals with Iran. Vance confirmed other aspects of the peace deal, including Iran's agreement to relinquish its enriched uranium stockpile and allow international nuclear inspections.
