— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump crashes out on Truth Social:

‘The headline in the Corrupt and Failing New York Times: "What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much." REALLY? Their Military is DONE, their Navy is GONE, their Air Force is GONE, their Launching Pads, Missiles, Drones and Manufacturing of same, is almost GONE, their top two sets of Leaders are GONE, their Inflation is at 250%, their Economy is BROKEN, their Soldiers aren't being paid, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN, THE OIL IS GUSHING, and the U.S. Stock Market and Jobs are at record HIGHS. That's what's CHANGED, you corrupt and unethical cowards, and MORE!!! President DJT.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: During yesterday’s negotiations, J.D. Vance told the Iranian delegation to ignore Trump’s threats, saying it was just ‘trash talk’

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇺🇳 NEW: Vice President J.D. Vance says Iran has agreed to the return of IAEA inspectors

He’s likely referring to this happening in case of a final agreement.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The U.S. Department of Treasury has officially issued a 60-day sanctions waiver on Iranian oil, petrochemical products, and gas

It is now in effect, until August 21st, with possibly extension as long as negotiations continue and a final deal is reached.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: Israel’s Channel 14, which is close to Netanyahu, suggests that Iran is using an ‘electromagnetic low-frequency weapon’ to influence President Trump’s decisions

‘They implanted these waves into his brain. There has been a noticeable change in the President’s behavior. It’s like telepathy, but electromagnetic.

The Russians have it, the Chinese have it, and the Iranians have it too.‘

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, has arrived in Oman together with Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi to finalize arrangements with the Omanis regarding Iran’s management of the Strait of Hormuz

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇱🇧 Iran’s top negotiator, Parliament Speaker Qalibaf, responds to criticism:

‘In one of the good programs in IRIB, I saw them say that they wished Mehrabad Airport had been closed so the negotiation team wouldn’t go to Switzerland.

I tell those dear ones: If we hadn’t gone to Switzerland, every moment more blood would have been shed from the Muslims and Shiites of Lebanon.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: A group of Iranian Parliament members will go to the Parliament on Sunday and demand it to open, or they will hold a sit-in

Many Iranian Parliament members are angry that they cannot perform their duties and pass legislations (and give criticism to the MoU).

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇴🇲 BREAKING: Iran and Oman have released a joint statement confirming their intention to establish a joint administration over the Strait of Hormuz

The statement also confirmed that fees will be charged for maritime services ‘in accordance with international standards’.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇵🇰/🇺🇸 NEW: In a shocking statement, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claims that Iran has agreed to hold negotiations on its ballistic missile program in the future

@Middle_East_Spectatpr

— Fars News and Tasnim News have quickly denied Sharif’s claim, but it should be the Foreign Minister that unequivocally denies it, not the press.

In my opinion, such media games and false claims are completely in violation of the MoU’s spirit, increases distrust in the opposite side, and should be responded to appropriately.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 In the past 48 hours, at least three very worrying claims were made by the Americans:

Claim 1: Iran’s initial $6 Billion in released funds will only be used for buying U.S. agricultural products.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei, rejected this and said Iran’s Central Bank would use the funds ‘however it wants’.

Claim 2: Iran has agreed to accept the return of IAEA inspectors.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei, also rejected this and said that inspectors won’t return to Iran unless there is a final agreement.

Claim 3: Iran has agree to hold negotiations on its missile program.

Denied by Fars News and Tasnim News Agency, but not by any official outlet or spokesman.

What does this all mean?

While we certainly shouldn’t take all of America’s claims at face-value, it has also become increasingly difficult to trust the words of the Iranian negotiators themselves.

With many people already being opposed to the MoU, the very least the officials should do is quickly dismantle and disprove such claims from the enemy. In fact, rejecting the claims is not enough—practical actions must be taken to ensure that no such false statements are repeated.

If measures are not taken, how will anyone know what to believe? We’ve experienced many times that Iran rejected making a concession, only to later admit that they did in fact make that very concession, just in a slightly different wording or with different technical details.

It is of utmost importance that this MoU is implemented completely, with no compromises, and with zero further concessions than what has already been granted. The only way to guarantee the correct implementation is not allowing space for false claims. With allowing false claims, you create more wiggle room for the Americans.

Whatever needs to happen, must happen. Whether that’s suspending negotiations, closing the Strait of Hormuz (for real this time), or using military threats as leverage. There is no other way to compel the U.S. not to engage in false narrative-making.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇵🇰/🇺🇸 Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif:

‘This MoU does not mention ballistic missiles.

It was never on the table; it was never on the agenda.

Iran's side never wanted to even discuss about it.’
