Trump Drops BOMBSHELL Defense of Iran Deal — What He Said About That $300 Billion Will Shock You

Liberty Check

• President Trump delivered a marathon G-7 press conference defending his Iran memorandum — while threatening to bomb Tehran if they misbehave
• Trump insisted America isn’t paying Iran a dime of the $300 billion — claiming it’s just ‘their money’ being unfrozen, a semantic dodge that won’t satisfy conservative critics
• The president showed razor-sharp command of details for over an hour, demolishing left-wing dementia narratives while calling out fake news and media bias

President Trump yesterday delivered a sprawling, marathon press conference from the G-7 summit in France, touching on everything from Iran and artificial intelligence to Barack Obama and Herbert Hoover. He also took aim at immigration, drugs, California’s failing power grid, Ukraine, and Joe Biden’s pattern of hiding from reporters.

And yes, he reminded everyone: the 2020 election was “rigged.”

Trump described Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum as competent but “very scared,” and unleashed on the “fake news” media — singling out CNN, the New York Times, ABC (“horrible”), NBC, and CBS (“terrible”) for having “so little credibility.”

For more than an hour, the president spoke extemporaneously, demonstrating an extraordinary command of complex policy details. This should put to rest the left-wing obsession with Trump’s age and recent speculation about his stamina.

The press conference was dominated by questions about the Iran memorandum of understanding — a deal that has sparked fierce backlash from conservatives and widespread negative media coverage.

When Fox’s Peter Doocy asked why Trump wasn’t attending Friday’s deal signing in Switzerland, the president joked that he’d send JD Vance instead.

“If it works out, I’ll take the credit. If it doesn’t work out, I’m blaming JD!”

Notably, Secretary of State Marco Rubio — who opposed the agreement behind the scenes and is a potential 2028 rival to Vance — has remained conspicuously silent on the deal for two days.

Trump defended the memorandum by claiming Iran had suffered $2 trillion in damages and would take 15 to 20 years to rebuild. He said the final two days of combat were “brutal,” with the U.S. dropping $200 million worth of bombs on the terror regime.

“We stopped a holocaust,” Trump declared, adding that only “stupid people” would say he should have continued the bombing campaign.

But when pressed on whether Iran is receiving $300 billion — the single most inflammatory element of the deal — Trump insisted: “We’re not putting up 10 cents.”

This was pure semantics. The U.S. has frozen $300 billion in Iranian assets, so Trump argues it’s “their” money being returned — not American taxpayer dollars. Critics aren’t buying the distinction.

Trump also downplayed concerns about Iran’s ballistic missile program, saying other countries possess them and it would be “unfair” to deprive Tehran. That rationale ignores the fact that Iran funds terror networks responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Republicans have hammered the deal for postponing talks on Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. Trump claimed Iran agreed to never develop nukes — but Tehran has a long, documented history of lying, cheating, and breaking agreements.

The president also wrongly claimed Israel is “happy” with the arrangement. In reality, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is furious, telling reporters “it’s his decision” but making clear “we have our interests.” Trump reportedly cursed out Netanyahu over continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

One overlooked detail: the memorandum is only a page and a half. Even Trump described it as an “outline” for future negotiations — not a finalized deal.

Trump did break news on one other front, announcing he wants to pursue “denuclearization” talks with Russia and China to reduce global nuclear stockpiles.

“We don’t need to be able to blow up the world several times over.”

Americans deserve better than semantic games when it comes to empowering the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
