Trump Declares Iran 'Finished' and Bars US Funds After Military Action
President Donald Trump again insisted that a “diminished” Iran is “finished” and will not receive any US money after a new memorandum of understanding. He posted on Truth Social that Iran’s air force, navy, radar and air defences have been severely weakened by recent US operations. Trump dismissed critics who claim Iran is better off now than four months ago. He wrote that Tehran agreed to talks out of desperation and urged that no funds be released in the next 60 days. The deal sets a 60-day framework to negotiate a broader agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and address Iran’s nuclear programme. Officials say the memorandum aims to restore shipping through the vital waterway and curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Supporters point to lower oil prices after Gulf shipping lanes reopened, while critics question whether military action created lasting gains or if diplomacy alone could have sufficed.
