Tehran Rejects Trump’s Claims of Imminent Nuclear and Regional Agreement

Iranian officials have formally denied claims made by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding a finalized agreement, characterizing his statements as a mixture of fact and fabrication intended to project a false sense of diplomatic victory. While sources confirmed that a draft text is currently undergoing final internal review in Tehran, they emphasized that no definitive decision has been reached. Officials criticized Trump for distorting specific provisions, particularly those concerning the status of the Strait of Hormuz and the disposal of nuclear materials. Key undisclosed components of the proposed framework reportedly include the immediate release of $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets and the establishment of a ceasefire in Lebanon. These elements remain central to the ongoing deliberations between the parties. Iranian authorities maintained that any final accord must strictly adhere to the country’s established red lines and core principles. The negotiation process continues to be defined by a profound lack of trust in U.S. commitments, according to government representatives.
