#IsraelIranConflict 🔻 Abandoned plans to ease sanctions on Iran after Khamenei's harsh statements: #TRUMP
🇺🇸 President Trump revealed that he was considering lifting some sanctions on Iran after a ceasefire — but changed course after a severe statement from Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
💬 "I was working on possible sanctions relief to help Iran recover quickly… but then I was hit by anger and hatred. I gave up everything immediately," Trump posted. He added: "The sanctions are PAINFUL!"
🍯 "Iran must reintegrate into the global order — you can get more with honey than with vinegar," he warned, urging Iranian leaders to change their tone.
🤝 Trump has pushed for new nuclear negotiations, although it is unclear whether any formal steps were underway. He hinted at allowing China to buy Iranian oil, but officials later denied any relief from the restrictions.
⚔️ A Senate resolution proposal to restrict Trump's military actions in Iran failed 53–47.
✅ Only one Republican (Rand Paul) supported it.
❌ One Democrat (John Fetterman) opposed it.
📝 Trump stated that the US and Iran "can" talk next week, although Iran denied any scheduled meetings.
💣 The 12-day war between Iran and Israel disrupted diplomatic progress.
🇮🇱 Israel targeted Iranian nuclear/military sites.
🇺🇸 The US joined in, hitting 3 nuclear facilities.
Trump stated that the sites were "obliterated."
Questions remain about Iran's enriched uranium stocks.
📹 Khamenei later declared that Iran was "victorious" and said it dealt a "hard blow" to the US. Despite initial violations, the ceasefire still holds.
⚠️ Tensions remain high, and future talks are uncertain.
