In a statement, Trump said the reported details had “nothing to do with the terms that were agreed to” and “bear no relation to the truth”.
The US president also criticised Iranian officials, describing them as “very dishonorable people to deal with” and urging them to “get their act together, and FAST!”
Trump’s remarks came after several Iranian media outlets published what they claimed were details of a potential agreement aimed at ending months of conflict involving the United States, Iran and regional actors.
The reported terms included demands long advanced by Tehran, such as the lifting of a US naval blockade, the release of frozen Iranian assets and substantial financial assistance for reconstruction following damage caused by US and Israeli military strikes.
However, American officials swiftly rejected those reports, maintaining that key US demands remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a deal had “never been closer” but cautioned media organisations against speculation regarding its contents.
He stressed that no final agreement had yet been concluded and that all details would be shared publicly once negotiations were completed.
The latest exchange comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to transform a fragile ceasefire into a broader political settlement. The conflict began on February 28 following large-scale US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets.
Iran responded with attacks against Israel and US-aligned countries in the Gulf region and effectively restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world s most important energy shipping routes.
Although a ceasefire was reached in April, intermittent exchanges of fire have continued. Earlier this week, both sides carried out retaliatory strikes, raising concerns about a possible escalation.
On Thursday, Trump threatened fresh military action against Iran but later indicated that planned attacks had been suspended because negotiators had made significant progress toward a settlement.
The reports published by Iranian media suggested that Tehran sought a final agreement endorsed by the United Nations Security Council and focused on sanctions relief, nuclear activities and economic reconstruction.
According to the reported terms, final negotiations would begin only after portions of Iran’s frozen assets were released, sanctions on oil exports eased and restrictions on maritime trade removed.
US officials, however, outlined a different framework. A senior administration official said any agreement would require the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear programme, the destruction or removal of nuclear materials and guarantees regarding regional security.
The official added that no Iranian assets would be released until Tehran fulfilled its obligations, while the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to support for militant proxy groups would also be expected.
US Vice President JD Vance also rejected reports suggesting Iran would receive financial benefits merely for signing an agreement.
“Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting,” Vance wrote on X.
He said the proposed arrangement was structured to prioritise the security concerns of the United States and its allies while allowing economic benefits to flow to Iran only if it fully complied with its commitments.
Diplomatic efforts, largely facilitated by Pakistan, continue as negotiators seek to secure a lasting peace agreement and launch broader talks on regional security and Iran’s nuclear programme.
