A deal to end the Iran war seemed close. Then Trump started posting on social media

As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.

Then President Donald Trump did exactly what his staffers have repeatedly said they wouldn’t do: He seemed to try negotiating via the press, posting about ongoing talks on social media and speaking to several reporters by phone Friday morning as Pakistani intermediaries updated him on ongoing talks with Iranian officials in Tehran.

He claimed Iran had agreed to a host of provisions that sources familiar with the talks said have not yet been finalized. He also asserted that Tehran had agreed to many of the most contentious US demands — including that it had agreed to hand over the enriched uranium — and declared an imminent end to the war.

  1. CNN lies again. At every point the Iranians said there was no deal, they weren't even thinking about returning to the table, they have an Allah-given right to nukes and wouldn't compromise. But CNN? Oh, it's Trump.
