Trump denies Iran concessions in ‘hoax’ report
The US president has rejected claims that he is prepared to ease sanctions in exchange for steps on Tehran’s nuclear program
US President Donald Trump has denied offering any concessions to Iran after indirect negotiations resumed in New York on Monday in hopes of ending the war launched by the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic seven months ago.
Trump took to social media to refute an Axios report claiming that he was prepared to lift some sanctions and release frozen Iranian funds in return for “concrete Iranian steps” regarding its nuclear program. AP published similar claims early Tuesday morning, also citing US officials.
“This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING! Axios’ story, like most others, is a HOAX, used only for purposes of satisfying their Trump Derangement Syndrome,” he wrote on Truth Social, demanding that the “fake story” be taken down.
