“Trump denies reports of US payments to Iran as ‘fake news’ US President Donald Trump has dismissed reports that Washington agreed to make payments to Iran as part of the newly announced memorandum of understanding. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon!

According to Fars News Agency, several Iranian ships crossed what it described as the blockade line without obstruction, including a very large crude carrier bound for Iranian ports and a vessel carrying livestock supplies.
