President Donald Trump on Sunday strongly defended the nearly completed U.S.-Iran peace framework, insisting it would be far tougher than Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal.
Trump said Iran would receive no sanctions relief or economic benefits until it fully surrenders its enriched uranium stockpile and permanently abandons any path to a nuclear weapon.
“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote.
“Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet,” Trump wrote. “So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about … I don’t make bad deals!”

Officials described the proposed agreement as roughly 95% complete, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a 60-day ceasefire extension, and follow-on talks to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.
“No dust, no dollars,” one senior official said. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that military options remain available if diplomacy fails.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he and Trump agreed any deal must eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat.
