US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of spreading 'fake news' about a possible peace agreement and alleged that Iranian forces carried out a drone attack targeting Indian vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump claimed that reports circulating about the terms of an Iran deal were false and did not match what was 'agreed to in writing.'
He said Iran's statements on the agreement were 'dishonourable' and accused Tehran of acting in bad faith.
Trump also alleged that Iran tried to attack 'Indian ships' exiting the Strait of Hormuz using drones, calling this 'totally unacceptable' and saying such actions must stop immediately.
US Vice President JD Vance denied reports that Iran would receive cash or that any funds would be released simply for signing or attending meetings, saying the proposed deal was structured to prioritise US and allied concerns.
The proposed deal reportedly includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, the release of approximately $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, and a 60-day negotiation window on nuclear-related issues.
Iran has pushed back against interpretations that Tehran would relinquish control over the strategic waterway, saying it would remain under Iranian authority even if commercial shipping resumes.
