    Trump's post, translation and explanation machine:
    Iran has agreed to never have nuclear weapons! Also, the story that says America is paying 300 million dollars to Iran is fake news spread by stupid Democrats!!!
    President DJT

    (The term "Dumocrats" is a derogatory blend of Dumb and Democrats; meaning something like "stupid Democrats.")
    realDonaldTrump
    Of course, it was about three hundred "billion" dollars, not million. Trump has also denied the payment from America, but Vance didn't say that America was going to pay.

    Three informed sources who spoke with Axios say that John Ratcliffe, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has told Donald Trump and other senior officials in the government that the information gathered by several U.S. intelligence agencies has raised serious doubts about Iran's readiness to offer the concessions that Washington is seeking in a final nuclear agreement between the two countries.

    According to the report, Ratcliffe is not the only one in Trump's team who has doubts. Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, and Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, have also raised concerns and questions about this agreement in internal meetings. In contrast, J.D. Vance, the Vice President, and Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, U.S. representatives, have supported the agreement.

    According to two sources, Trump and his team reviewed information collected by several U.S. intelligence agencies that indicated the way Iranian officials discuss the agreement in their internal conversations does not align with what they have communicated to intermediaries and the U.S. Based on this information, Ratcliffe and Rubio expressed doubts about whether the Iranian government would agree to the nuclear actions desired by the U.S.

    One informed source said, "The available information shows that Iran's intentions do not align with the commitments accepted under the agreement."

    JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, announced on Monday in an interview with CNN that the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran is a very general document, approximately "one and a half pages" long.
    Vance pointed out that this text only establishes a broad framework, emphasizing that details regarding various issues must be specified and resolved during the upcoming technical negotiations.
    According to him, this agreement creates a structure under which Iranians will benefit from the advantages of this agreement if they adhere to their commitments.
    In another part of this interview, the U.S. Vice President stated that in the very "first clause" of this document, Washington's expectation for Iran to commit to "peace and regional stability" is explicitly mentioned.
    He clarified that based on this clause, just as the United States is committed to peace, Tehran is also obligated to completely stop funding violent terrorist organizations and exacerbating instability in the region.
    @VahidOOnLine
    JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, in an interview with CNN, denied reports regarding the early release of Iranian assets, stating: "As of this moment, not a single dollar of Iran's frozen assets has been released, and there has been no reduction in sanctions by the United States or our partners in the Gulf."
    Vance, referring to misleading reports in this regard, added: "Hardliners and some elements within Iran's political structure are exaggerating Tehran's achievements from this agreement to convince their public, without mentioning the commitments Iran must adhere to in order to gain these concessions."
    The U.S. Vice President emphasized that this agreement, if implemented, will include a very large package of sanctions relief for the people of Iran, stating: "This memorandum fundamentally changes how Iran interacts with the world and the region, but Tehran will only benefit from these advantages when it fulfills all its commitments."
    He concluded by advising the audience to be skeptical of the Iranian government's promotional statements and emphasized that benefiting from this great opportunity entirely depends on Iran's practical adherence to its promises.

    JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, stated in an interview with CBS that Iran may gain access to a fund for reconstruction, financed by Gulf countries, if it adheres to its commitments.

    Vance pointed out the potential benefits of the agreement for Tehran, saying Iran "could" receive about $300 billion in financial resources for reconstruction from Gulf countries, but he conditioned this on the full implementation of the Islamic Republic's commitments.

    He added that the U.S. supports Gulf countries' investment in Iran's reconstruction, but this will only happen if Iran ends its nuclear program, halts activities related to enriched materials, and agrees to a comprehensive inspection and monitoring regime.

    The U.S. Vice President also emphasized that media close to the Iranian government will focus on the benefits of the agreement, but will say less about the concessions Tehran must make in return.

    Old video attributed to shooting at government supporters during nighttime gathering

    🔹A video has been circulated on social media claiming to show scenes of shooting at opponents of the agreement with the U.S. during nighttime gatherings of government supporters in Iran.

    🔹This video is old and has no connection to the nighttime gatherings of government supporters in Iran.

    🔹The video is related to March 1, 2025, and depicts the Iraqi police confronting supporters of the Islamic Republic who were trying to approach the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.

    🔹Reports of gatherings by opponents of the Islamic Republic's agreement with the U.S. have been published, but news of shooting at them has not been reported by any official sources.

    🔹This video was previously misattributed to the protests of January 2025 with another incorrect claim.

    🔹Therefore, Factnameh rates the claim made about this video as "false."

    Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, announced that Israeli forces will remain in what he referred to as "security areas" in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria for as long as necessary to ensure Israel's security.

    On Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized in a press conference that despite the signing of an agreement between Iran and the United States, Israel's challenges are not over, and "we must remain vigilant and defend ourselves when necessary."

    According to the U.S. government, the Islamic Republic has committed in the agreement signed on Sunday never to pursue nuclear weapons. The Israeli Prime Minister further stressed that "with or without an agreement, Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons."

    In his press conference, Netanyahu also stated that joint attacks alongside the U.S. have inflicted heavy damage on Iran, and according to him, "some believe that the economic damage to Iran has been one trillion dollars." He continued, "We promised the people of Iran that we would create conditions for the overthrow of the Ayatollah regime; I don't know when this will happen, but it will happen."
