Donald Trump criticized critics of his Iran deal in a post on Truth Social at 4:32 a.m. on June 18, 2026. He referred to them as 'fools' and defended the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that has faced scrutiny from some of his allies for being too lenient towards Iran. Trump stated, 'These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid.' The MOU, signed at the Palace of Versailles, aims to conclude the war with Iran and includes provisions for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and for the U.S. to lift sanctions and provide financial support for reconstruction. Critics, including Senator Bill Cassidy and Senator Ted Cruz, have expressed strong opposition to the deal, arguing it does not adequately address Iran's nuclear ambitions and could lead to significant financial support for the Iranian government without sufficient concessions. The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for further comments.
