• Trump claimed U.S. secretly extracting oil from Iran during war — At the signing event, Trump claimed the U.S. had been secretly extracting millions of barrels of oil from Iran, stating he was revealing this operation publicly for the first time. He claimed the U.S. took 22 ships "the other night" with no lights and destroyed Iranian radar. New York Times reporters noted Trump appeared to be referring to a well-known U.S. operation helping commercial vessels traverse the Strait of Hormuz, through which over 200 ships had been guided in slightly more than a month. The reporters could not confirm Trump's claim that the effort enabled over 100 million barrels to reach the market.
• Iran's state-run news agency published draft text of purported U.S.-Iran deal — Iran's state-run Mehr News Agency published what it claims is the draft text of an agreement with the Trump administration, including a $300 billion U.S.-led reconstruction package, $24 billion in immediate frozen asset releases, full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days, and suspension of oil and petrochemical sanctions. Iran's missile program and support for "resistance groups" were explicitly excluded from the negotiating agenda. The White House immediately disputed the Iranian account, issuing a contradictory summary emphasizing nuclear material destruction, program dismantlement, and performance-based conditions.
• Iran–U.S. memorandum of understanding remains unsigned with disputed terms — Iran state media released a 14-point draft memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran that includes immediate ceasefire, lifting of naval blockade, $300 billion in reconstruction aid, release of $24 billion in frozen assets, and suspension of oil sanctions. Trump disputed the leaked terms, claiming they bore no relation to what was actually agreed. A senior Trump administration official told Fox News the deal was approximately 75 percent complete and expected to be signed within days, but Iran's Foreign Ministry stated it could not confirm the speculations and was still in internal finalization stages.
• Trump posted on social media disputing Iran's leaked deal terms — Trump posted on social media that Iran's leaked terms "have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing," calling the Iranian account "weak and pathetic" and labeling Iranian leaders "very dishonorable people." He also flagged an overnight drone attack on Indian ships near the Strait of Hormuz as "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE." The posts were part of a broader pattern of dueling public narratives about the deal's contents.
