Trump accused Iran of lying and rejected the terms of the peace deal published by the media

US President Donald Trump stressed on Friday, June 12, that the terms of the peace agreement with Iran circulated in Iranian state media "have NOTHING in common with the terms that were agreed to [by the parties] in writing." The American leader wrote about this on the Truth Social network.

Earlier, Iran's Mehr news agency reported that the preliminary draft deal consists of 14 points and includes a commitment by the US to lift oil sanctions on Iran, a naval blockade of Iranian ports and ships, and unfreezing half of Iran's funds blocked due to Western restrictions - in which case Tehran would be ready to begin final peace talks. According to Mehr, the agreement also contains a commitment by Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days of signing the preliminary deal.

"What they [Iran] have said, including their weak and pathetic claim that there is a deal, has nothing to do with the truth," Trump said, reacting in a post on the Truth Social network. He called Tehran's representatives "very dishonest people to deal with." "There is no such thing as doing business with them in good faith," Trump wrote.

"They better get a grip, and FAST!" - recommended the US president to the Iranian authorities.

Against this background, oil prices, which fell to $85.8 per barrel during the June 12 session, slowed down. At the time of publication, the August contracts for the international benchmark grade Brent are losing 3% - at $87.67; July futures for U.S. crude oil WTI are down 2.5% to $85.

A day earlier, Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran could sign a peace deal as early as this weekend. During the war, which is in its fourth month, the American president has claimed more than 30 times that the signing of the agreement is close to completion, CNBC notes.
