The proposal is one of the many ideas considered by the administration, according to sources. Details of the administration discussions were reported for the first time by CNN.
The potential agreement would mark a major reversal of the policy for President Trump, who withdrew the United States from the Obama administration nuclear agreement with Iran in 2018, arguing in part that the repair of sanctions and the thaw of Iranian assets had provided a “The cash life buoy“To the Iranian regime to continue its malignant activities.
However, it is not immediately clear if the financial proposal or any negotiation between the United States and Iran goes ahead.
In a Post social post Friday evening, Trump said that he “had never heard of this ridiculous idea”, adding that it was “just another hoax issued by the false news”.
Earlier Friday, Trump threatened to remove any possible relief from sanctions for Iran after the supreme chief of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared victory in the war against Israel and minimized the importance of American attacks against their nuclear sites.
“Why the so-called” supreme leader “, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the country torn apart by the war, said so clearly and stupidly that he won the war with Israel, when he knows that his declaration is a lie?” Trump wrote in a long post on Truth Social, adding. “In the past few days, I was working on the possible abolition of sanctions and other things, which would have given Iran a much better chance during a complete, fast and complete recovery – the sanctions bit! But no, instead, I am struck by a declaration of anger, hatred and disgust.”
In a pre -recorded speech on Iranian state television on Thursday, Khamenei said: “The Islamic Republic was victorious and, in retaliation, gave a slap in the face of America.”
He added: “This action can be repeated in the future.”
But later Friday, Trump insisted that the Iranians still wanted to meet him to discuss any sanctions.
“They want to meet me, and we will quickly. We are going to do it quickly,” Trump told journalists at a meeting of the White House with the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda.
“Don’t you think we have sanctions there that they can’t do anything? Don’t you think they want to meet me? I mean, they are not stupid people.”
