Trump said that hisIn a post on social media, Trump criticised the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal and claimed his proposed agreement would prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.deal will differ from the one crafted by former US President Barack Obama.
"If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn't even fully negotiated yet. So don't listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don't make bad deals! President DJT," he added.

I expressed my deep appreciation to President Trump for his unwavering commitment to Israel's security, including during Operation Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, when American and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat."

Honestly, I'm tired of US presidents flip-flopping on Iran every few years. One gives them billions, the next threatens war. For India, this instability hurts our Chabahar port project and our energy security. We need consistent policies, not theatrics. And Trump calling critics 'losers' is so immature. 😒
As someone who follows geopolitics, this is interesting. Trump's approach of linking Iran deal to Abraham Accords expansion could actually work. Getting Saudi Arabia and others to normalize with Israel while pressuring Iran is smart. But India needs to watch out - stronger US-Israel-Saudi axis means less room for us to balance between them and Iran. Our strategic autonomy is at stake here. 🇮🇳
The way Trump talks about 'cash' is misleading. The Obama deal gave Iran access to its OWN frozen assets, not American taxpayer money. But I agree Obama's deal was weak on inspections. If Trump gets a tougher deal that actually blocks Iran's path to nukes, good. But don't trust him blindly - he said the same about North Korea and look where that went. 🤷♂️
I find it funny how Trump says 'nobody has seen it' as if that's a good thing. 😂 You're negotiating a deal that no one knows about? That's not transparency, that's a recipe for disaster. And Netanyahu praising him is expected - Israel always pushes for maximum pressure on Iran. For India's sake, I hope this doesn't lead to another war in the Gulf. We have 8 million Indians working there!
