Iran will never get nuclear weapons, $300 billion news ’fake’: Trump

Tehran has promised that Iran will never acquire nuclear weapons. This is what US President Donald Trump has claimed. At the same time, he has also dismissed the news of giving Iran $300 billion as 'fake news'. Although different information is coming out about the $300 billion reconstruction plan and economic assistance as part of the peace process.

According to the media India Today, Trump made these comments in a post on Truth Social. In that post, he wrote, 'Iran has agreed that they will never acquire nuclear weapons. Also, the news that the US is giving Iran $300 million is also fake. This is false propaganda spread by the Democrats.

A day earlier, the US and Iran reached a preliminary agreement aimed at creating a framework for talks on ending the war and easing Tehran's nuclear program and sanctions. However, the details of the agreement are still unclear and talks on a permanent ceasefire are ongoing.

Trump's post suggested that the United States was providing financial incentives to Iran as part of a larger deal. He has denied such reports. However, the figure discussed in recent reports is not $300 million, but $300 billion.

Vice President J.D. Vance reiterated the same position shortly after Trump's remarks. He said that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was a key goal of the Trump administration throughout the conflict.

In a post on X, Vance wrote, "From day one, the President has made it clear that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon."

He also described the agreement as a major diplomatic success. Vance said, "President Trump's peace efforts have once again brought good results for the American people, even though the United States and many who hate President Trump have tried to thwart this effort."

Earlier on Monday, Trump announced that a preliminary agreement had been signed between Washington and Tehran to end the war. Arriving in France for the G-7 summit, he said JD Vance would attend the formal signing ceremony in Geneva later this week.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pjeshkian described the US-Iranian memorandum of understanding as an “important step” towards ending the war. However, he warned that a final agreement to establish a permanent ceasefire still depends on negotiations.

Meanwhile, different interpretations have emerged regarding the $300 billion payment to Iran. Sources quoted by Iran’s Mehr news agency claim that as part of the peace process, Iran’s negotiating team has presented a reconstruction plan worth at least $300 billion to the US and its allies.

Iranian media reports say that this is part of a larger proposal. It also includes releasing $24 billion that Iran has frozen during the 60-day talks. Half of this amount has been offered at the beginning.

The proposal also includes lifting sanctions on Iran's oil and petrochemical exports and granting full access to Iran's financial assets abroad.

Iranian media outlets have been presenting the proposal as one of the conditions for war-related compensation and a lasting peace. Iranian officials have repeatedly said that Tehran must be given tangible economic benefits. According to some of their estimates, Iran's losses due to the conflict could reach $1 trillion.

However, the same $300 billion figure has been interpreted differently in Western media. US media reports say that this is not direct compensation. Rather, it could be an international investment and reconstruction program that Washington would help implement. It could also include private sector investment rather than formal compensation.
