Trump warns fraudsters, says only official points will guide US-Iran ceasefire talks

Only official points guide ceasefire talks

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning against individuals spreading fraudulent claims about the US-Iran ceasefire, insisting that only officially sanctioned points will shape the high-stakes negotiations.

In a post on TruthSocial, President Donald J. Trump strongly criticised what he described as fraudulent attempts to influence the ongoing US-Iran ceasefire negotiations. “Numerous Agreements, Lists, and Letters are being sent out by people that have absolutely nothing to do with the U.S.A. / Iran Negotiation, in many cases, they are total Fraudsters, Charlatans, and WORSE,” Trump wrote. He warned these efforts “will be rapidly exposed after our Federal Investigation is completed.”

Trump emphasised that only a single group of points carries weight in the discussions. “There is only one group of meaningful ‘POINTS’ that are acceptable to the United States, and we will be discussing them behind closed doors during these Negotiations,” he said, adding these points form “the basis on which we agreed to a CEASEFIRE.”

Criticising the media, Trump singled out CNN, claiming they had promoted a “source” with no authority. “It’s very much like Fake News CNN last night, headlining a ‘source’ that had no power or authority to write a Letter claiming great authority,” he said.

In a tense 11th-hour agreement on Tuesday, Iran, the United States, and Israel agreed to a two-week ceasefire, averting U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened bombing campaign against Iranian infrastructure. Hours after the announcement, Iran and Gulf Arab countries reported new attacks Wednesday, though it remained unclear if they would jeopardise the deal.

All parties presented conflicting interpretations of the ceasefire. Iran claimed the agreement formalises its new practice of charging ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the U.S. would work with Iran to remove buried enriched uranium, which Tehran did not confirm. Pakistan and other mediators said fighting would pause in Lebanon, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the deal does not cover operations against Hezbollah. Israeli strikes targeted central Beirut, hitting commercial and residential areas, killing dozens and wounding hundreds.
