Fact Check: Did Trump refuse to unfreeze Iranian assets or lift sanctions upfront as part of a deal?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: Donald Trump (R)


Claim: He would not “unfreeze any Iranian assets” or “lift any sanctions” against Iran “upfront” as part of a deal.


Rating: FALSE


Explanation: The preliminary agreement states that the U.S. Treasury Department would immediately issue waivers allowing Iran to resume exports of crude oil and petroleum products while also beginning negotiations over the release of frozen Iranian assets. Those provisions contradict Trump’s claim.
