President Donald Trump this week called off a planned series of strikes against Iran with the explanation that an agreement ending the military action was looming.

He said, on social media, “Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening.”

Then Iran’s media leaked what it called details that the negotiations allegedly included, and Trump erupted over the inaccuracies.

“The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing. What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING! Also, their totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships leaving the Hormuz Strait is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. They better get their act together, and FAST!” he wrote.

Media in Iran had shared what were claimed to be details, citing claims that Iran would make no commitment regarding the transfer of the management of the Strait of Hormuz. That purportedly would be decided “through dialogue and joint decision-making between Iran and Oman,” the reports alleged, according to Fox.

Further there were claims that talks about the future of Iran’s nuclear program would take place within a 60-day period after the agreement is signed.

Analysts have suggested Iran’s deep-seated intransigence stems from internal conflicts between power groups inside the rogue Islamic regime, ranging from those who still want to use nuclear weapons to threaten, even destroy, other nations, and those whose concerns lie more toward the economic, social and military problems it faces.

When Trump called off the planned strikes based on a pending agreement, state media in Iran hedged, saying that officials there did not have a “text” of an agreement.

Trump had said, “Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized — Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.”

Trump’s claim for a resolution to be at hand came just hours after he suggested the U.S. would seize Kharg Island’s oil depot and strike Iran “very hard.”

There had been multiple strikes on Iranian interests over recent days, after Trump promised a response to Iran’s decision to shoot down a U.S. helicopter.
