President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that he did not offer Iran sanctions relief or frozen funds. He wrote that an Axios story making that claim was untrue. Trump said he offered Iran “NOTHING.”
He also said Axios should pull the article. In the same post, he told the outlet to withdraw “this fake story, IMMEDIATELY.” The post named a Monday report by Axios writer Barak Ravid. That report cited U.S. officials as saying Trump is prepared to ease sanctions and unfreeze Iranian funds in exchange for concessions from Tehran on its nuclear program.
