Trump Denies Making Iran Offer, Talks
U.S. President Donald Trump denied making any offers to Iran and said "nor am I even talking to them" since his strikes on their nuclear facilities, in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump was responding to comments made by Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, who noted to Fox News media reports that the president is moving towards a sanctions-relieving nuclear deal with Iran like the one negotiated by President Barack Obama.
"Tell phony Democrat Senator Chris Coons that I am not offering Iran ANYTHING, unlike Obama, who paid them $Billions under the stupid road to a Nuclear Weapon JCPOA (which would now be expired!), nor am I even talking to them since we totally OBLITERATED their Nuclear Facilities," Trump posted early on Monday morning.
Trump scrapped the JCPOA-Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action-otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal during his first term. He called it a terrible deal that handed an American enemy billions of dollars.
The deal, agreed with Iran in 2015 after multilateral talks led by the Obama Administration, relieved some of the economic sanctions on Tehran, particularly around its oil trade, in exchange for greater international monitoring of its nuclear program.
"I'll just note that President Trump, by press accounts, is now moving towards negotiating and offering Iran a deal that looks somewhat similar to the Iran deal that was offered by Obama," Coons told Fox News Sunday.
"Tens of billions of dollars of incentives and reduced sanctions in exchange for abandoning their nuclear program."
