#Trump has also “voiced concern” at what financial relief might be provided for #Iran as part of the deal, wary of comparisons to the falsely characterized “pallets of cash” that were delivered under the Obama-era nuclear deal he derides as weak.

The latest volley of proposed changes comes a week after Trump claimed the deal “largely finalized” & signaled the end of the war was imminent.

Since then, US officials have been trying to convince people Trump wasn’t talking out of his ass as usual.

Fact check on “pallets-of-cash” claim from Snopes In short, elements of the claim are true but the social media posts and Trump's speech omitted key context. The Obama administration did approve a $1.7 billion payment to Iran in 2016 and later reporting said the money was delivered in foreign cash. The payment was not simply given or a gift to the Islamic Republic. It represented the settlement of a decades-old legal dispute regarding $400 million that Iran paid the U.S., before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, for military equipment it never received, plus roughly $1.3 billion in interest. As a result, we've rated this claim a mixture of true and false information.
