BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim of a deal being signed tomorrow, saying the insistence on signing the deal on specifically Sunday is engineered around his own birthday, calling it a "propaganda event" that Trump is trying to turn into a unilateral "symbolic occasion" for himself, along with his UFC White House event, per Fars. The Iranian negotiating team says it "will not permit such a media and ceremonial manoeuvre," explicitly stating that the memorandum of understanding has not been finalized and no signing will happen.

BREAKING: Iran says talks have now "completely stalled" due to Trump's positions and actions, saying that as long as Trump does not accept all of Iran's demands in the draft, the 60-day negotiation period has no chance of beginning and Iran won't sign, per a source close to Iran's Ghalibaf. Vance's new statements say the deal involves "no cash" and "no funds released for signing," while Iran's draft requires the US to release $24 billion in frozen funds and pay Iran $300 billion in war reparations before Iran signs anything. There clearly isn't an agreement.

BREAKING: Iran now also rejects Trump's claim that "we have a deal in which Iran won't have nuclear weapon," saying the current draft keeps the nuclear program completely untouched with no new commitments regarding not building a nuclear bomb, enrichment or uranium handover to the US, per IRNA. The draft also requires the US to pressure Israel to completely end the war in Lebanon, release $24 billion of frozen funds, pay Iran $300 billion as an "investment fund" for war reparations, lift the US naval blockade, release all sanctions, and accept Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. These are Iran's conditions for the US to accept, only then will Iran sign the agreement.

This is completely false. All reports claiming a deal has been reached, including Trump's claims yesterday are market manipulation ahead of today’s SpaceX IPO. Iran has explicitly rejected that any deal has been finalized.

BREAKING: Iran's Foreign Ministry directly rejects Trump's new claim that "everyone in Iran has approved the deal," including the Supreme Leader, saying no one has accepted it, and "no agreement has been reached," per Fars. Any agreement requires the US to "accept every demand" from Iran, including that it won't surrender enriched uranium or make nuclear concessions, that the Strait of Hormuz remains permanently under Iranian management, and the transfer of $24 billion in frozen funds. Iran adds "if it were to yield under pressure, it would have done so a year ago" rather than after sustained US bombing. The spokesperson also denied Trump's claim that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on a deal signing, saying it "remains closed" under Iranian authority and "safe passage is not possible."

A senior Israeli official also tells Channel 12 they are "not aware of any agreement being reached," per N12.
