US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that there is only one set of terms acceptable to the United States in the US-Iran talks. His comments came hours after the two-week ceasefire was agreed between Iran and the US, and ahead of talks between the two countries in Pakistan this week.
In his latest post on TRUTH Social, said, “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.”
“These are the that are the basis on which we agreed to a CEASEFIRE. It is something that is reasonable, and can easily be dispensed with,” Trump wrote.
Trump made the remarks while calling out “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 said, adding, “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.”

The official declined to elaborate on the differences but said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was expected to clarify them at a 1 p.m. briefing, the report added.
In an earlier social media post, Trump laid out a few details of the deal with Iran, saying, “The United States will work closely with Iran…There will be no , and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear ‘Dust.’”
“We are, and will be, talking tariff and sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been been agreed to. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said.
He also said, “The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz.”
According to several reports, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again Wednesday in response to Israeli attacks against the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, casting doubt over whether an already precarious ceasefire to end more than a month of war will hold.
