US President Donald Trump on Thursday rejected reports suggesting that the United States had agreed to pay Iran $300 billion, terming the claim as “fake news”.
“There is no 300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S. That’s Fake News!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
He added that the United States had instead benefited from “lower oil prices” and what he described as “success” and “victory”, pointing to stock market performance as evidence.
“All there is for the US is Success, Lower Oil Prices, and Victory,” he said.
Trump also criticised political opponents, alleging that “Democrat propaganda” was behind the claims.

TheUS and Iranhave continued to present contradictory views on the current status of the war and when it might end. Both sides appeared to meet halfway in the past few days, suggesting that they were close to signing a preliminary deal to end the hostilities. While at theG7 Summitin France, US President Donald Trump went a step further, saying an initial agreement had already been signed, and that its details would be published “pretty soon.”
Although Iran and Trump have repeatedly gone back and forth on Tehran possessing nuclear power, fresh international reports now indicate that a $300 billion reconstruction fund may be in the pipeline for Iran as part of the proposed deal. Citing a source briefed on the purported talks, the Financial Times reported this week that theTrumpadministration is considering the multi-billion-dollar investment fund, which is contingent on certain reiterated obligations.
However, top US officials are already contradicting the claims, with President Trump going so far as to slam the “fake news” altogether.
