President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed not to possess a nuclear weapon. He also described reports that the United States would pay Iran $300 million under the peace agreement as “fake news,” a phrase that is a loaded descriptor.

Trump said he will release the text of the U.S.–Iran memorandum in a formal setting and said he likes the idea of sending the Iran deal to Congress for review, according to Al Monitor. The memorandum, reported by GDELT, establishes a framework for future engagement and links sanctions relief to Tehran’s compliance with nuclear‑verification measures and regional‑security commitments.

The discussions, reported by Dawn, involved Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine. Middle East Eye reported that the United States removed 22 tankers from the Strait of Hormuz under heavy military protection and “complete radio silence,” a phrase that is a loaded description of the operation.

Trump said that if the tankers had not been removed, a barrel of oil would have risen to $350, according to Middle East Eye. He also said, “We want to go in and clean out everything,” using language that is a loaded, aggressive expression, and added, “We want them to have a good leader. We have some people who I think would do a good job,” a statement containing a value‑laden qualifier, as reported by NBC News. Trump said he is taking steps to make sure the people on his list survive the war and added, “We are watching them, yeah,” also reported by NBC News.
