President Trump expressed frustration with Iran after its Foreign Ministry said Tehran “had not reached a final conclusion” on any peace agreement.

The president called them “very dishonorable people to deal with” and warned, “they had better get their act together and fast!”

His threat comes amid confusion about the status of the peace deal and its contents, given that Iranian and US officials have given contradictory statements on the subject. 

Iranian state media reported that Tehran will negotiate with the US to retain the country’s uranium enrichment capabilities. It also reported that Iran has not agreed to ceding management of the Strait of Hormuz and wants the release of $24 billion of Iran’s frozen funds as “compensation” for damage incurred from the bombing campaign.

Trump blasted the reports as having “no relation to the truth.”

“What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth,” the president wrote on Truth Social. 

Trump said on Thursday the deal was in its final stages of negotiation and that Iran had agreed to end its nuclear program. He said it could be signed as early as this weekend.

Vice President JD Vance also took to social media to try to clarify matters.

Iran is not getting any of its funds unfrozen, he said in a lengthy post, but added that if Tehran meets its “obligations,” then “economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region.”

At issue are $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil revenues being held by Qatar. Currently, the funds are earmarked for U.S.-approved humanitarian needs in Iran, but Tehran wants to have broader, unrestricted access to the funds, particularly to help the country recover from the bombing campaign. 

In order to gain more access to those funds, Iran needs to release some of its enriched uranium, a senior administration official said on a briefing call Friday morning.

“The basic thing we’ve asked is we want real movement and actual conduct on the nuclear-enriched material – it’s the president’s highest priority,” the official said. 

The president has been clear that he is holding firm on his demand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

But Tehran said the current draft of the agreement states that “Iran undertakes no new commitments” on nuclear weapons, with further negotiations on the issue set to take place in a 60-day period following the signing of the agreement.

The original peace plan called for two phases of the de-escalation, and nuclear talks were part of phase two.

The US has five major points that it wants, a senior administration official told The Post: Iran’s highly enriched uranium will be destroyed; its nuclear program will be dismantled; none of Iran’s frozen funds will be released “until they perform”; the Strait of Hormuz will stay open; and no Iranian funding of terrorist groups.

“This is what they have agreed to. This is a performance-based deal,” the official said.

And it’s close to being done, a White House official said, estimating it’s 75% ready.

“While this is tentative, we feel confident that we will be signing this in the next few days,” the official said.

“I expect we will sign the MOU in the next couple of days and then technical work on the ‘How’ begins,” the official noted.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry agreed that much of the text is finalized but said there are some details to be worked out.

“Textually, the text has almost been finalized in its major parts. The problem is that the contradictory positions of the United States have always caused turbulence and disruption in this process,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told Iranian state media.

Both sides agree on one thing – there is a lot of false information out there.

“I’m seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” Vance wrote on social media.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made a similar observation, writing in a post on X that “the media should refrain from entering speculation” about the content of the deal.
