BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 20. The deal that we
are making with Iran will be far better than the JCPOA, U.S.
President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, Trend reports.
"The DEAL that we are making with Iran will be FAR BETTER than
the JCPOA, commonly referred to as “The Iran Nuclear Deal,” penned
by Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden, one of the Worst
Deals ever made having to do with the Security of our Country. It
was a guaranteed Road to a Nuclear Weapon, which will not, and
cannot, happen with the Deal we’re working on. They actually gave
$1.7 Billion Dollars in “GREEN” Cash, loaded into a Boeing 757, and
flown to Iran for Iranian leadership to spend anyway they saw fit.
He emptied out all of the Cash from Banks in D.C., Virginia, and
Maryland. Those Bankers said they’ve never seen anything like it
before. In addition, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars was paid to
Iran. If I did not terminate that “Deal,” Nuclear Weapons would
have been used on Israel, and all over the Middle East, including
our cherished U.S. Military Bases. The Fake News, like Lightweight
Washington Post “Journalist” David Ignatius, loves to talk about
the JCPOA, knowing that it was DANGEROUS, and a Complete
Embarrassment to our Country. If a Deal happens under “TRUMP,” it
will guarantee Peace, Security, and Safety, not only for Israel and
the Middle East, but for Europe, America, and everywhere else. It
will be something that the entire World will be proud of, instead
of the years of Embarrassment and Humiliation that we have been
forced to suffer due to incompetent and cowardly leadership!", he
wrote.
On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched military operations
against Iran. Strikes were carried out against the country’s
largest cities, including Tehran. The White House justified the
attack by citing missile and nuclear threats emanating from the
Islamic Republic. As a result of the strikes on Iran, the country’s
Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several other key
figures in the leadership were killed. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps announced a large-scale retaliatory operation against
Israel. Iran also targeted U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Jordan,
Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria with
ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have surged.
Through Pakistan’s mediation, a two-week ceasefire agreement was
reached between the sides on April 7. The U.S.–Iran talks held in
Islamabad on April 11 ended without reaching an agreement.
