Trump blames Iran for ‘attack on Indian ships’

Washington (TIP): Donald Trump has accused Iran of spreading “fake news” about a possible peace agreement. The US President also alleged that Iranian forces carried out a drone attack targeting Indian vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.
On Truth Social, Trump claimed that reports circulating about the terms of an Iran deal were false and did not match what was “agreed to in writing.” He said Iran’s statements on the agreement were “dishonourable” and accused Tehran of acting in bad faith.
Trump also alleged that Iran tried to attack “Indian ships” exiting the Strait of Hormuz using drones. He called this “totally unacceptable” and said such actions must stop immediately. This came a day after the US admitted to bombing three vessels carrying Indian crew near the Hormuz Starit. Three people were killed.
“The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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 added.
US vice president JD Vance said there was “a lot of fake information” circulating about a potential Iran peace deal involving the reopening of the Strait and efforts to end its nuclear programme. He denied reports that Iran would receive cash or that any funds would be released simply for signing or attending meetings and said that economic benefits would only follow if Tehran met its obligations under any agreement.
