Trump Rejects Leaked Iran Ceasefire Terms, Calls Reports “Fake News” Amid Rising Tensions

Former United States President Donald Trump has strongly denied the authenticity of reported ceasefire terms linked to ongoing negotiations involving Iran, describing the leaked details as “fake news” and accusing those responsible of acting dishonorably.

In a post published on his Truth Social platform on Friday, Trump said the reported agreement had “NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing,” and insisted that the information circulating in the media was inaccurate and misleading. He further criticized what he called “dishonorable people” involved in the situation, stating that there is “no such thing as dealing in good faith” with them.

The comments came shortly after Iranian state media reportedly published details of a possible ceasefire framework, which included several key points about nuclear discussions, sanctions relief, and regional security arrangements. According to those reports, Iran would not make major concessions on its nuclear programme, and any future negotiations would only begin after a 60-day period following the signing of a preliminary memorandum of understanding with the United States.
 

The reported terms also suggested limited movement on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Iran would not relinquish control of the strategic waterway, but would instead discuss maritime security and passage normalization with regional partners. Additionally, the reports indicated that some frozen Iranian assets could be released upon signing, while broader sanctions relief and war-related compensation would be addressed in later negotiations.

Trump did not specify which exact report he was responding to, but his remarks followed the publication of these details by Iranian state media. His statement adds further uncertainty to already fragile diplomatic efforts aimed at ending or de-escalating ongoing hostilities involving the United States, Iran, and regional allies.

The situation has remained highly volatile in recent weeks, with shifting signals from Washington regarding military and diplomatic strategy. Trump and senior officials have alternated between aggressive rhetoric and suggestions that a diplomatic breakthrough may be possible. Earlier in the week, planned U.S. strikes were reportedly halted following what was described as progress in negotiations, though tensions escalated again shortly afterward after drone incidents near the Strait of Hormuz.

The disputed ceasefire reports also come amid broader regional instability, with ongoing military developments and mutual accusations between involved parties. Observers say the conflicting statements from political leaders and media reports highlight the fragility of any potential agreement and the difficulty of verifying information in an increasingly tense geopolitical environment.

As of now, no official ceasefire agreement has been publicly confirmed, and both diplomatic progress and military confrontation remain possible outcomes as the situation continues to evolve.
